My tattoo was inspired by the quote: “Don’t waste your time or time will waste you.” It’s a reminder to live with purpose and not let life pass me by. Time is the one thing we can’t get back, and I’ve learned how quickly it slips away when we’re distracted or stuck.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, it would tell the story of love, loss, and laughter. It would honor Lilly, my dog who passed, with lilies, and show off Diesel’s paw print, my fur baby. It would talk about lifelong friendships with matching tattoos and the bonds we’ve shared. My ink also captures my spirit, comical yet full of inspiration, guiding my journey. Each piece, whether from friends, my boyfriend, or talented shop artists, tells a chapter of my story!
What would you do with the $25,000?I am currently perusing my BA in applied behavioral sciences at UAGC. I would use the $25,000 to pay off my current student loans. I would use the remaining money to buy myself a new to me reliable vehicle.
