Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My spine tattoo represents my journey to find self, spirit, and belonging. I didn’t grow up knowing my family or roots, so I created my own map using astrology, symbols of protection, and elements of nature. Each piece reflects a truth I’ve had to uncover on my own. It’s not just ink—it’s identity, healing, and a visual prayer for the woman I am and the one I’m becoming.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak, it’d roast me lovingly. It’d say, ‘She’s a walking mood board of emotions—power, play, and maybe a SpongeBob obsession.’ From spiritual symbols and zodiac signs to a deer behind the ear just ‘cause she loves them—her tattoos are a mixtape. Some tracks are deep, some are silly, but all of them are her. She’s got jokes, heart, and hella soul wrapped in every line.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I’d fund my handmade earring brand so others can feel seen through art. I’d put money down on a trailer and land to start building a peaceful, grounded life for my future family. And yes—I’d take a well-earned vacation with my friends. Joy is medicine, and we deserve to breathe, laugh, and live fully. This money wouldn’t change me—it would free me to be who I’ve always been.
