What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is for my daughter. She’s now 1 and a half, and I got it about 2 months after she was born as a dedication for her, as a plan to do with any other children I have. I wanted to commemorate how special she is to me, I got her birth flower with her newborn profile in the stem and her birth date. I never thought I was going to be able to have kids. Nothing crazy, but something for me and my husband to enjoy and a cool memory for us to tell her about when she’s older

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My tattoos are simply a story of my life so far, they symbolize the things that are important to me, like my family, and who I am as a person. If they could speak they would tell my story about who I am and what I love and I hope to one day have a story worth telling.

What would you do with the $25,000?

$25,000 would change my life right now. My husband lost his job, so we are scraping by with what we can. Being unable to pay for childcare im home with my daughter, and we struggle to make rent and bills every month. $25,000 would mean we could pay off our debt and start a savings account, pay our rent and bills and be able to finally fix our cars so that we both have reliable transportation for doctors appointments, work, and school for me, with AC. We live in Florida and summer heat is coming.
