Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I’ve always been drawn to ancient or intentional patterns, and sacred geometry hits the sweet spot between art and meaning. The idea of balance, patience, and structure spoke to where I was mentally and creatively. I wanted something that reflected focus and discipline, but also felt timeless. It wasn’t just a tattoo; it was a way to anchor everything I’d been working toward in one visual, permanent form.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could talk, it would say, "You earned this." It would remind me that patience beats shortcuts and that vision without follow-through is just a wish. It would probably call me out for how long I took to commit, but in the end, it stands for showing up, doing the work, and building something that lasts. It’s not loud, but it speaks with purpose and intention.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I won the $25,000, I’d use it to travel and experience new cultures, soaking up fresh inspiration for my own life and tattoos. I’d also make sure to donate to a meaningful cause because I believe in spreading the good. And of course, I’d treat myself to something fun, maybe a little adventure or an experience I’ve always dreamed about. It’s all about growth, giving back, and embracing new opportunities.
