What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent ones are the symbols on each wrist. One is the Celtic symbol for motherhood, and the other is a symbol for new beginnings. I chose these asy Irish heritage is important to me along with my children. New beginnings was chosen after my husband passed away, and I had to start a new chapter in my life.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

I believe it would say that tattoos are a beautiful and inspiring form of art for us as human beings to display. The best part about tattoos are they are very unique to the canvas and I believe, more thought and meaning are put into the works of art that any other art form.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would donate a portion to to the food banks in my city, I would get a car, as I walk everywhere and a car would be such an improvement for my daily life, and put some in RESP'S for my children. The rest I would use towards bills and monthly expenses.
