Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is of Apollo. He is the greek god of the sun, symbolizing strength and clarity. His drawn bow is a symbol to me to stay ready, clear headed, and ready to strike to make the most of my opportunities. Apollo is also a reminder of balance. While he displays military prowess he is also the god of music and light. I think it's important not only to be strong, but to find balance in the beauty in life. Don't let a difficult world make you cold, remember to curate the good in life

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink tells a story. My broken clock reminds me that I'm strong against adversity, yet reminded I'm lucky to still be here. My St Michael was a follow up, following near death it was a promise to be a good person with strong morals. Latin script that says "I shall either find a way or make one" goes with my Apollo of stay ready and make the most of my opportunity. My paper plane with a jet shadow reminds me all cool things start as an idea. And my skull with a dagger is to crush fear

What would you do with the $25,000?

My aunt and parents have been very supportive of me when my life was rough financially. I would give them half of it as a thank you for being there for me when I needed somebody to lean on and let them know they are first in my thoughts when graced with good fortune coming my way. I would use some to help my fiancée and I fund some extra fun at our wedding or honeymoon. The rest I would donate to my local 4-H group, they help develop youth and when I was in it people donated to me. Give b
