My most recent tattoo are my fish on my back, I love this tattoo because they signify perseverance, strength, and ambition. Before the fish, I had gotten my dagger. This piece meant a lot to me which is why is also close to my heart. It represents my sacrifices, like leaving my family in El Salvador at 16. I love the ruby heart cause I try to do everything straight from the heart, no matter what it is. I believe doing this will always bring good to your life.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?A lot of my ink is actually very personal. Some are share stories of the most important people in my life. Others come straight from the heart and just come from struggle and sacrifices. All of them make me smile every time I see them just because of how much they really mean to me.
What would you do with the $25,000?Im currently a college student and Im about to start my doctorate for physical therapy, which means I will be in debt to my neck. This money would greatly help me since I will be getting a huge pay cut when I begin the program. This money would be a blessing. I can finally tell my mom that my tattoos actually did something for me, she was not their biggest fan at first.
