Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

The last tattoo I got was a qupte "Pain Made Me Numb" as a reminder to myself that even though I may have found myself on the wrong side of right, and felt slighted, and stabbed in the back that I can perservere and have the strength to keep moving forward, and hopefully can use my voice and story to inspire others they can perservere and make it on the right side of wrong with strength and integrity and staying true to on your path of redemption.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would tell a story of my path through life, feeling like you can be on the top of the world in a life of the fast life of hustling, the pains of betrayal and heartbreak, and being able to beat the cycle of recidivism and addiction. It will inspire and instill hope that with hard work and dedication anything is possible, and to never compromise yourself or give up and always move forward through whatever you may face, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Man, life changing opportunity for sure. It would allow me to be debt free, stop being so financially stressed, give me some breathing room and be able to focus on being able to help inspire others with my story and leave my mark in this world in a positive way instead of being strapped and stressed paycheck to paycheck wondering and figuring out how to cover lifes expenses.
