The most recent tattoo I've been working on is my path to leaving my ex husband. I say it's sobriety but truth is it's about finding peace within myself and rebuilding my life after abuse. It's slowly being pieced together. But my tattoos story all start from the age of 6 years old. With my first being just that. My grandpa's who passed on my 6th birthday. His name the day I turned 18. It was finished a few years later, and i just found a flash from when i was 13 its so similar.

It would say I have gone through many trials and tribulations. And many ask how I'm still here. Each tattoo is a reminder of those i lost. And things I've gained. I have one side is black and grey for my "dark side" which I'm more of now days. The left side is my color side. I want to bring more color back into my life. because I can finally live life with no boundaries after surviving a in domestic violence marriage for 12 years, and Now living with lupus and Dysautonomia, and PTSD.

I have just registered my California non profit 501c organization. But that is as far as I have gotten because I am trying to get state funding. And I still need my domestic violence counselor and victims rights certificate. I am starting a non profit to help those affected by homelessness. Disability. Mental health. PTSD. Domestic violence. I want to provide a shelter in my low income community I live in the worst city in California with 4 prisons and high rate of homelessness and low income.
