Melissa Billadeau

I’ve been on a weight loss journey for the past 4 years. Every time I would lose a certain amount of weight I would get a tattoo.

What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is the one on the thigh that says “find someone who grows flowers in the darkest parts of you.” It’s lyrics from a Zach Bryan song and those lyrics hit home. My mom past away a year ago and she always said to find someone who makes you happy and helps you grow.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink would talk about my grandparents, my uncle and my mom. Most of the flowers are the birth flowers of my nana, poppy, grandma, uncle and my mom. All of them have passed away and I wanted to incorporate them into my tattoo.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use some of the money for a down payment on a home. The rest would be used towards skin removal surgery. After losing 201lbs I have extra skin and it affects your confidence and having that removed would do wonders for me. If I have any left over it would be spent on another tattoo! I am wanting to start on a back piece.
