Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I was assaulted by someone close to me for a lot time. He is in prison now but I never liked my body because of it. I thought instead of self harming, why not make something beautiful instead, and make myself love myself one tat at a time? So that’s what I did. I was young, but the intent was still the same. I never understood tattoos until I went through that abuse and realized that it helps people like themselves

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

“I have good intentions but I look crazy” haha

What would you do with the $25,000?

I never thought I was good enough. Im going to put the money behind something that makes me feel good enough. And that is getting rid of these early bad habits so I can become a professional tattoo artist. I am going to find a way to help people love themselves the same way I helped myself little by little. People deserve to love themselves on this floating rock.
