What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is one I did myself of The She-Hulk on my thigh. I am a total pop culture nerd and The She-Hulk is my favourite Marvel character. She-Hulk represents a woman’s strength and power to handle anything that comes her way just as I have done my whole life. From raising my children almost exclusively by myself to going through a messy divorce and burying my second husband. I lost my husband, my mom and my younger sister in a span of 2 years.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Every tattoo is for a particular reason so it would tell the story of me. Whether my likes such as my Indiana Jones and Belle to the mother tiger and 3 cubs on my shoulder that are me and my kids, each one has a meaning. My left arm holds my memorial tattoos and I would love to get a sleeve of different pop culture images on my right arm.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay some bills and take my boyfriend and all the kids on a family vacation. Even put a bit into savings.
