Enter For FreeMy handle with care tattoo is the most recent. I did it myself, and it came from a very difficult time. I struggle with ptsd due to a violent relationship I had with my ex husband. I can't fit the whole story here but basically, my exes wife stole my medical records from my mental health Dr. And used it to try to break me, my brother was shot and killed, and I was sitting there staring at a box of my brothers things and laughed because it said handle with care. That trauma sat in that box.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?It would say I survived. It would say I made the best out of the worst situation I possibly could. It would say I am strong and I feel and it's my story. Every single one has a story.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use it to take care of my family. Help us get a house. I have 4 kids and one that is medically compromised so it would help us tremendously.
