Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

Simplicity and overdue for the solo ceremony. Popped in for a quick rooting with a lined earth symbol in dark green over my heart chakra.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Piece by piece my ink would tell you the story of growing back into a girl. First pieces were deep & wound related sessions. Large & seriously toned pieces that have helped me cope with dynamics of loss or grief. A permanent memory that’s both visual, physical & rewritten. Over time I’ve been able to put less pressure on the perfect artist and concept & appreciate the beauty & connection of the process.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would like to have a Forever Home for my children and I, as well as helping with start up funds for my own business in astrological aesthetics and women’s wellness. I would budget out the $25k with professional help so that I was able to both kick start and reinvest for our future. It’ also important for me to those who have helped me in imaginable ways and those who can’t help themselves at times. (Oh and a large scale piece or 2)
