What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is a bluegill on my right forearm with a buddies lure he makes called pigsticker Tungsten jig connected to a bobber and in the fishing line between the lure and bobber is my first born sons name. The outdoors runs deep in my soul from a very young age. I instilled that into my kids from the time they were able to walk. I'd rather be outside in nature then locked inside. Being a ginger makes it hard at times but the sun burns always heal and the memories always last.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Anyone that sees me for the first time can easily tell I have a passion for the outdoors and being on the water. It shows I have alot of patience, dedication and drive for a sport and activity that takes alot of practice and skill to do. My tatts are colorful should show I'm outgoing and looking to stand out and be noticed so I can possibly talk about my passion to them.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I won the $25,000 I would split it between my 2 kids and put it into separate accounts to go towards there future endeavors when they become 18. Whether it be college or trades school. Give them a little more of a head start for their journey into the world that is so ever changing around us.
