Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is my Snoopy tattoo. I promised myself at the beginning of starting esthetician school that I would get a Snoopy tattoo once I graduated, because I’m obsessed with Snoopy - a character that offers so much joy and wisdom! I started esti school after almost committing suicide due to severe depression, and Snoopy was one of the things I listed as a reason to keep going on, as silly as that may sound. I included my lucky number 7 in the tattoo for good fortune, too.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Keep going - if you can live for anything, live for the beauty of it all - whether it be through skincare, ink, or all of the above!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d donate half of the money to a suicide prevention charity such as The Trevor Project, which helped me greatly in my time of need. I’d use the rest to invest in my future as an esthetician, either to fund laser hair removal school or to buy/rent a space to practice esthetics in. I have to look more into it, but I’d love to be a traveling esthetician, so putting some money towards a van would be awesome. Any spare money would go to my amazing momma who's supported me always.
