Each tattoo marks my freedom—he hated ink, so I made it my armor. Every line tells the story of leaving his control behind.

Enter For FreeI got this tattoo in memory of my sister who passed 12 years ago. She loved Thor, so I chose a Valkyrie angel with a helmet like his—strong, divine, and protective. Valkyries guide souls to the afterlife, and that’s how I see her now—still with me, still fierce. This tattoo is my tribute to her strength, our bond, and the love that never fades.”
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, it would tell the story of my soul—each piece a chapter of pain, love, growth, and survival. It would speak of people I’ve lost, battles I’ve won, and the strength I’ve found through it all. My tattoos aren’t just art—they’re memories, protection, and reminders of who I am and where I’ve been. Every line has meaning. Every image, a voice.
What would you do with the $25,000?Winning $25,000 would help me put a down payment on a home for my four kids and me. They’re older now, and having a place we can truly call our own means everything. It’s about giving them stability, comfort, and a space where we can build new memories together. This would be more than a house—it would be a fresh start
