If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, it would probably laugh first—then say, ‘Buckle up, babe. This body’s been through stories, soul-searching, spontaneous decisions, and sacred moments. Some of us were born in a burst of healing, others after trying to feel something. But together?

What would you do with the $25,000?If I win the $25,000, it’s going straight to my greatest masterpiece—my kids. Whether it’s college funds, dance classes, or just making sure they have the kind of magical, wild, love-filled life they deserve, this inked mama’s investing in their future.
