What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I guess wanting to express myself. I’ve always wanted tattoos and never really got any because of judgement in my relationship. I think because it was my kids names, he was ok with it. I got a few more and expressed that I wanted bigger pieces only to be met with judgement and/or silence.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Express yourself more! You’re bland.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would buy my Dad a car and put the rest towards fixing his house. It was my grandmas and the house is in terrible condition, with all kinds of rodents going in and he refuses to leave. Fixing it isn’t an option for him.
