Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My latest tattoo is a memorial piece dedicated to my brother Ronny. It serves as a personal tribute to his life, spirit, and the bond we shared. This tattoo allows me to carry his memory with me always, honoring the love and impact he had on my life.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

They aren’t just designs—they’re reminders, reflections, and representations of growth, pain, love, and strength. Every line and symbol was chosen with intention, tied to memories or milestones that shaped me. What makes them unique isn’t just the art itself, but the meaning behind each one. They’re like chapters in a book only I can fully read, and each one helps me stay grounded.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I won $25,000, the first thing I’d do is pay off my grad school loans—that kind of freedom would be life-changing. After that, I’d treat myself to another tattoo, something meaningful to mark the moment and everything it represents. And then, I’d finally take a vacation—a real one—somewhere peaceful where I can recharge, reflect, and just enjoy life for a bit.
