What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I was dealing with struggling with illness and I became so depressed that I began to feel dead inside. Also there were times in my life where no one has had my back not even family. And due to being weird, shy and eccentric it’s hard to connect with people so I’m lonely.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Aye! I’m the grim reaper on his left arm. I was chosen to represent how emotionally dead he feels. The numbness is so saddening for him That my eye sockets are sad and they’re crying bloody tears. My cloak runs all the way down his arm and turns graffiti on his inner and outer forearm. On the inner forearm, it says beware because no BS will be taken. On the outer arm. It says I walk alone due to him living such a lonely life. Please be careful for he is fragile

What would you do with the $25,000?

My niece is going to college in the fall and her car broke down and it’s beyond repair so I would give her money to buy her a new car. I’d give my last living grandparent money because she’s always been there for me even when no one else would. I will donate to a charity that does surgery for children who have cleft lips. The rest would be for more tattoos and to becoming a Wholesale car dealership rep so that I could sell cars and get out of poverty.
