My ink shows a shift in my mindset as I get older. Being controlled and told what to do, at 49 said enough is enough and started living.

Enter For FreeMy thigh tattoo was my first and represents my two loves, the outdoors(specifically bears), and working out. Several years ago, a bear destroyed our car in the mountains, and since then, the raw power I saw that night has intrigued me. I want to take that power into my life and enjoy what life has to offer.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?It tells the story of overcoming struggles, addiction, and feeling like I never had a voice. I'm working on a phoenix sleeve which is symbolic for me as it shows me rising from a bad child and now coming into my own, albeit late in life. My next tattoo will be a tree where the roots wrap around my waist and the tree goes from looking dead to alive as it progresses up my abs, eventually having colorful leaves. It has taken me a long time to love myself and tattoos help me show that.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use part of the 25k obviously to work on my tattoo journey, and use the rest to take my wife on a vacation. She has stood beside me through tough times and has been a rock. She deserves to have good stuff come to her.
