All of my ink, minus one has meaning. The most special one is for my son who passed away. I believe it's a beautiful tribute to him.

Enter For FreeI already had 2 tattoos for my son who passed away and I wanted to have something showing my love for all of my children so I added one for all of them together.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink would show the good and bad times in my life. They all express who I am. Being down and realizing I have to be strong. In the beginning for my children and now for myself also. Learning to let go. Let go of people, things and feelings that brought me down. It has been such an amazing weight lifted off of me since I realized that. I used to put my tattoos where I could hide them so I wouldn't affend people, mainly my family until I realized I wanted to be me and express who I am.
What would you do with the $25,000?The first thing I would do is purchase a headstone for my son. I would give some to my son who just welcomed my first grandchild, on my birthday:) I would get my daughter a better car. The next thing I would do is grow my horse rescue and get it into 501c status so that I can accept donations and can write off things I purchase for the horses. I have been doing it for about 2 years with all of the money coming from my own pocket but working 4 jobs and running the rescue barn is tough at times.
