What inspired your most recent tattoo?

It was our bind we lives a little too hard and too fast for a long time. He died from a overdose and I have lived on and now have no friends because they are all dead and I am here still alive through the journey of life and drugs and criminal activity. I am now a father of a 4 year old and my tats remind me everyday of what could have been and what is because I survived.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would say to enjoy life even when it's hard and gets you down. Because I have lost everyone I know, all my friends are dead or incarcerated for most their life. It speaks of change and what I had to do to change for the best.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would save it because I live week to week paying for everything my child and her mother needs. I'm the only one working and trying to do my best in this economy but it's just never enough. Work to be broke.
