Michael Vales

All my tattoos besides one have a deep meaning to me. Majority of them are family oriented. A few of which are for my father that passed.

What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is the words supras moras on my chest which is Latin for “overcome difficulties” with the loss of my Father, my career of being a fire fighter, Emergency medical Services Supervisor and working in the Emergency room, I have a lot of stress at all times but I manage to make it work, keep a positive attitude and push through. My tattoos help remind me when I’m in a low spot, whether it be physical or mental, to keep going.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Well the left side of my tattoos are mostly family related and the right side of my body is for me and what I like. I think my tattoos would say that I’m very family oriented and even with his low points he didn’t give up.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Probably pay off some debt and finish my left arm sleeve. Definitely give my mom some money too.
