My most recent tattoo is dedicated to my daughter, Michelle. As a single full-time dad, she is my greatest blessing, my strength, and my reason for everything. Every moment, every sacrifice, every dream is for her. Having her name and a rose close to me reminds me daily of the unconditional love we share and the bond that nothing can ever break.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink speaks of love, loss, and loyalty. My brother’s tattoo lives on me after he was taken too soon. My daughter Michelle’s name rests on my skin — she is my heart, my reason to fight every day. ‘Pray for Our Sinners’ honors my best friend Michelle, who I named my daughter after — her spirit, strength, and love for the sea are forever part of us. Every piece of ink is a piece of my soul.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I won the $25,000 grand prize, I would use it to build a better life for my daughter and me. As a full-time single dad, every opportunity is a step toward giving her the future she deserves. I’d also give back to my mom, who’s been my rock through everything — without her, I wouldn’t be the man or the father I am today. This blessing would be for all of us.
