Lilies are seen as symbols of rebirth. Their relationship to rebirth is used to wish the deceased well in their afterlives. I tried to end my life at one point. I came away from the experience feeling like I had died and then got a second chance. So I wanted a piece that spoke to that rebirth experience.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?To quote my favorite song lyrics: “I know I was born and I know I will die. The in between is mine. I am mine.” - I Am Mine by Pearl Jam
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the $25K to pay off some debt, take a relaxing trip and get some new sick ink to celebrate!
