I was inspired by the classic “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” as a symbol of loyalty, love, struggle and protection. Incorporating my fiancée’s face made it deeply personal by honoring her strength, resilience, and the bond we share. It’s a reminder that through everything, we protect each other’s peace, stay true, and see the good in the world together.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink is powerful and fierce and would demand respect while providing guidance to those who embrace it. It would whisper stories of love and loss. My father’s strength etched in ink, a guiding presence through time and my fiancée’s face, a vow of loyalty in silence and truth. Together they’d say “we are your past and future, pain and promise. Remember where you came from, cherish what you’re building, and never look back”.
What would you do with the $25,000?My fiancée and I are nearing the end of our IVF cycle after nearly a year. The $25000 would help us pay for any medications and medical expenses while also providing an amazing foundation for our soon to come baby. It has been a struggle but her resilience has been an inspiration.
