What inspired your most recent tattoo?

Having a piece of family history and showing my pride in where I come from is a big part of who I am. Being able to continue on the tradition of go going out every year, partipating in one of Alaskas biggest industries is not only challenging, but fulfilling. Passing it on generation to generation is what its about. It helps keep the family pride alive.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If I could get my ink finished. I want it to show, where I came from. The pride of my family and where it all started. From the "Silver Wave". The anchor represents steadfast and hope through trials and tribulations hold us in place. The trees represent life and growth. The great state of Alaska is where I am from. I would mark where that is. It would show pride.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I have 9 children. A big family my grandmother told me I would have before passing in 2015. Continuing on the family name. My big family represents unity. The award would help me further my place with my family, providing more opportunities in health and education. It would help my family sustain and maintain in the growing economy.
