What inspired your most recent tattoo?

With my late husband’s passing my grandmother became my safe space. We shared a birthday and I was named after her. When she passed away March 2nd, 2022 things changed. I have had many highs and lows between home and work life. When I saw the saying” Stronger than the storm” I knew I had to get it. I didn’t feel strong in 2003 and in 2022 but with my friends keeping me positive on everything in my life I see things changing for the good. I could go to my grandmother for a

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink would say that I am strong, I am independent, that everyone that has passed away that I leaned on is very proud of me. Even though things may seem like it is a storm I’m going through I will make it and to stay positive no matter what the outcome will be.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would try to find a house to rent so that my mom, daughter, stepdaughter could all be under one roof. Even if it was a house to rent I would pay the rent up for a couple of months. If I couldn’t find a house then I would get all the negative items off of my credit so that I could be able to afford to buy a house to call ours. I’m at the 555-580 range and you can’t do anything. Even working 2 jobs I’m not surviving, living paycheck to paycheck has been rough.
