Learn MoreWhat inspired my most recent tattoo is my phoenix! I may fall to ashes but I will always rise! I said that I was going to have as many phoenixes as I needed to until one was done perfect and it's interesting that this last Phoenix was done by an amazing artist and I don't think I need to get any more phoenixes.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak it would definitely tell a story of family of strength as my first tattoo was strength and courage the start of my symbols down my spine. The start of my journey.
What would you do with the $25,000?What I would do with the $25,000 if I was chosen I would invest in my daughter for her future and I would also definitely invest in ink along with making sure I have a savings for my daughter and I as I'm a single mom. And I would give back to some people that have helped me along the way. Giving back to those who have been there for you is a very genuine and awesome part of someone's authentic self. I tried to show my daughter who is amazing in her own way to be her authentic self.
