This was supposed to be a Phoenix. It represents my survival through abuse; heart failure; kidney failure and non-alcoholic cirrhosis.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?It would tell about my life's experiences. I got my first tattoo at 40 years old in memory of my grandmother. I have 17 now, several done by a best friend who's passed from cancer, as well as several of things that help me stay focused on moving forward from my abuse and many health issues I'm still struggling to overcome. I believe that we manifest our own choices, and every piece of my artwork is a reminder of a choice in my life - some good, some bad.
What would you do with the $25,000?My husband and I just partnered in an Oil change business that my sister and her husband have had for 8 years. Her husband tragically passed away a month ago and had no life insurance or back up plan, so sadly my sister is struggling with serious depression and may even lose the business which is her only income. We would use it to invest and keep The Oil Doctor open here in Ft Smith, Arkansas. As well as get more ink!!
