What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I have lost a lot of weight this past year, dealing with breast cancer. Before, I would never show my legs so therefore, I didn't tatt my legs. So? This latest tatt is once again...a dragon (for strength) on the one body part that I was always ashamed to show- my legs. 😇

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My I'm would say... I've been through a lot in my 51 years of life. I have always needed to remain strong being a mom raising 4 sons. My tatts tell my emotions, thoughts, my love for my kids (and teaching) and my personality traits (from my astrological sign). 😊

What would you do with the $25,000?

As I am still not working after cancer treatments, I want to be able to give my boys what they ask for without telling them " I'm sorry, Mommy's broke right now"! It breaks my heart to struggle and my boys know it. I just want them to be happy. If they are... Then I truly am. 🩷
