Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

Well, funny story, my tattoo artist actually came to me and said he wanted to do a tattoo on me. He asked me what I wanted and I said surprise me. So I went into it blind. All I seen was the stencil and he tattooed me. I never saw the original design. That’s how I ended up with the spartan piece (photo in profile)

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would say trust God and let Him guide your steps. The goal with my ink is to spread positivity and love to as many people possible. It would also tell the story of how strong I’ve become and where my strength comes from. If it wasn’t for God, I wouldn’t be where I’m at today. He continues to bless me and strengthen me, even when I become weak. Most of My tattoos tell a story of a broken heart been made new. A soul saved from darkness.

What would you do with the $25,000?

So I literally just lost everything and I’m in the middle of a divorce because my wife left me out of no where. I lost my house, my car, my 2 dogs. I went through a very traumatic year. I had a lot of people help me and I wanna give back to those who helped me financially, emotionally, and physically during the hardest year I’ve had. So with the $25,000. I would bless those who helped me and continue to help me.
