Ink tells my story. My tatt addiction, only addiction, started with the crown on the back of my neck at 35, now 51 and tatts are my bondage!

Enter For FreeMy latest tatt was a fine lined pineapple on the top of my foot. The inspiration behind my pineapple was curiosity. Curiosity within myself and to spark others curiosity. When you look at it, depending on how you look at it, my pineapple could be upside down (lifestyle) or right side up, a fresh exotic fruit. When asked about my pineapple, I giggle with a sly smile and reply, “maybe I just like the taste of pineapple!” My pineapple represents pure or not so pure curiosity…
If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink, represents my life journey. The crown on my neck, the queen, a female, and oldest of five kids. Different stages of my life from pin ups to flowers. A Sparrow behind each ear, one red, the other blue, as sparrow birds are known to return back to their ship. My daughters always return to their mom. A scorpion, I am Scorpio, a calavera skull, November birthday. Chest plate, wild flowers from “Alice in Wonderland,” my wild side. Currently, a Buddha backpiece, balance and peace.
What would you do with the $25,000?Honestly, I haven’t even thought of the $25,000. I’d probably travel to Thailand and become certified in Yin yoga and apply the rest towards nursing school. I was more excited to get tattooed by Bang Bang and featured in Ink Mag as a woman in her fifties.
