Learn MoreMy dad passed away when I was 25 so it’s just been my mom that’s been in my life and she’s the most important person in the world to me. I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate her and my heritage.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?That I’m PROUD of my Japanese/Asian heritage and that I, hopefully, captured the essence of Japanese culture!!
What would you do with the $25,000?Definitely get caught up on some bills and finally get my other arm sleeve that will be dedicated to my dad’s military service and how he met my mom. I’d also love to put some away to buy my first home!!
