What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I recently got an anchor on my ankle with a semicolon through the center. Calming thoughts like the ocean keep me grounded. Imagining being on a boat all alone in the middle of the ocean mentally gives me a moment of peace and reflection to stay away from crazy thinking.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Look at me, analyze me but don't judge me. Realize tattoos are art, they do tell you something if you look hard enough. To me, tattoos are extremely important because they say something about you that means so much to you, you never want to forget and you want it with you for life

What would you do with the $25,000?

Plain and simple answer, $10k each to my 2 kids and $5k to finally get a sleeve. My stories have not been fully told.
