What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent was inspired my auntie, grandma's, & adopted mom's passing. My tulips represent my aunt they were her favorite flower. My colors represent their favorite colors. Even though this is the most recent it isn't the one that means the most to me. My birds with Confucius means the most.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

No matter what life is too short to give up. When you fall rise higher then the fall. It would tell you my struggles and how hard I fought to be where I am. I never lost sight of what I wanted.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I honestly don't know. I have never had that kind of money, but what I would try to do is fix my car and pay the rest towards my mom's mortgage so she wouldn't have to stress anymore. My dad (who raised me and chose me) passed recently & it has brought to light a few hard realities for my mom and I don't want her to worry about anything.
