My most recent tattoo was inspired by my feminine side, that is not only delicate, but it’s intricate. It also has a bee on it because I love bees and they represent loyalty and hard work.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink would tell my story. Covering multiple scars both accidental and intentional scars. They would tell the stories of fighting a brain tumor, recovering from an eating disorder, the unity I have found even in the dark, and my creativity through the rough times.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would like to donate most of it to an organization to help others with my specific type of brain tumor. I know that I would have wanted to know someone cared, and I want others to know that they are as well. I would also like to use some money to pay for school as I am working towards my degree to become a therapist for those in need.
