What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo was inspired by my sobriety. I was overcoming an addiction. I was actually an addict at a really young age. Most of my family didn’t know I was dealing with this battle. When I was finally clean for awhile and decided that I wasn’t going back to hard drugs(I was still smoking weed at the time) I treated myself to the overpriced tattoo. Cause unfortunately where I’m from if they think you’re a college student they up charge your tattoo price.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

That it’s proud of me for how far I’ve come in my sobriety. I’m currently sober in all aspects. I don’t drink k or smoke. Anything. Not even cigarettes. I was struggling with my addiction for so long. I let it destroy so many great things and opportunities for me that where I am today was once an unimaginable goal.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the money to pay off my debt and invest in launching my dream career as a baker by starting my own bakery. This includes establishing an LLC and taking the necessary steps to begin on a small scale. I wouldn’t spend all the money. I’d set aside the remaining funds in savings to support and grow my business. Pastries are so rad!
