I think what makes my ink unique is the style and placement. I love peonies and mandala’s and this can never be duplicated for anyone else.

What inspired your most recent tattoo?

Peonies represent healing and transformation among other things and having experienced a lot of trauma in my past, I wanted something that showed that transformation, yet was also feminine. I love the way it grows up my arm and onto my back and blends into a mandala which to me is like a culmination of all of the hard work I’ve put in to overcome the things that I’ve been through.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would say that I am strong, beautiful, courageous and that my trauma doesn’t define me… I am able to grow and blossom despite the things I’ve been through and I will continue to grow and blossom.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off some of my student loan debt and take my family on a nice and well deserved vacation. And I’d also get some more tattoos!!
