What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I have 6 beautiful grandchildren and I wanted to show them how special they are to me, each one has their year and a small drawing to represent each one in their own way, I have shown it to them and they all loved it.Each child thinks they are my favorite as that is what I tell them all so this is a way to show them from me.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

I think each one that I have would say I have love, loss, friendship and strength. I suppose that really sums up all of the ones that I have and probably will get in the future. They are meant for me not to impress anybody just for things that mean something to me.i have my kids on my back, for love,I have my friend and my Capricorn symbol because I lost her, I have my heavy metal symbolism for my strength and a couple others for my sisters from different misters, all meaning for me.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would probably get a couple more tattoos and then do something fun for my grandkids, you can’t take it with you and it would give them something to remember me by when I’m gone one day.
