What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I had gotten a tattoo of a sea turtle when I was in Maui and I decided to put three smaller sea turtles on my arm to represent my grandchildren.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

All of my tattoos, I have had done have a meaning to them, but I think they would say, after being sheltered all my life once I got to a point you and a certain age, I decided to do what I always wanted to do, and that was to make memories with my tattoos.

What would you do with the $25,000?

First off, I would pay what bills I have buy a few things that I need and then take my grandchildren on a trip and of course get more ink. I still have things that I want to finish.
