As a past self harmer, Ink is an outlet for me. It’s therapeutic. I’m like a human journal, wearing my own thoughts and feelings.

Learn MoreMy twin sister has inspired my most recent tattoo. She started what would be a life taking battle with lupus back in high school, our junior year. Passing just a few months short of our 25th birthday. She was obsessed with Disney movies, one of her favorites being Beauty and the Beast. Thus inspiring the rose with falling petals idea. The blue signifies her, as that was her favorite color, as does her initials inside the petals.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak it would say hi I'm Mariah and I’m mayhem, I’m crazy but kind, I’m thoughtful, inspiring, full of life, love and ideas. My ink would say look at me, I’m here, good and bad, love me as I come.
What would you do with the $25,000?With the 25k I’d be able to settle down and finally take care of myself. With my mental health, and other disabilities, it’s hard to keep a job and support myself to live comfortably. I’ve missed a lot of meaningful events and life changing opportunities. This money could finally start me a savings, pay off debt and provide a much more stable environment that has been needed. Id also like to finally invest and start my lil business
