What inspired my most recent tattoo? A lifelong struggle with directions and the realization that it's socially unacceptable to keep making the L with my fingers in public—so I made it permanent.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?We did it, bitch. Every needle, every session—another step toward our higher self. Each piece strengthens our resilience, marks the chapters we’ve survived, and turns our story into something beautifully permanent.
What would you do with the $25,000?Winning the $25,000 would take me out of survival mode for the first time in my life. It wouldn’t just change my circumstances—it would give me the stability to breathe, grow, and fully invest in my passions. I could finally support my small business, attend tattoo conventions to expand my work, and give my salon the attention it deserves without constantly choosing between survival and success.
