My ink speaks softly of survival—through violence, loss, and pain. It’s not just art. It’s healing. It’s how Im finding myself again.

What inspired your most recent tattoo?

“Peace, Love, and a Lasting Bond” This tattoo—two doves and delicate flowers on my left arm—symbolizes peace, love, and an unbreakable bond with someone who deeply impacted my life. The flowers reflect growth through pain and the beauty that rises from hardship. Close to my heart, it’s a tribute to healing, remembrance, and love that never fades.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If My Ink Could Speak: I’m the scars of her past, the love for her kids, and the fight that won’t break her. The doves are peace earned, the flowers growth through pain. The owl on her thigh? It’s wisdom earned from surviving hell. I carry her story—unfiltered, real, raw. I’m everything she’s been through, and everything she’s become, inked on her skin for good.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I had $25,000, I’d invest in stability. First, I’d secure a permanent home for my family and make sure we’re safe and settled. Then, I’d save for long-term goals—starting a small business, improving my skills, and setting us up for success. Most importantly, I’d use it to create a solid foundation, ensuring we never have to face uncertainty again.
