It used to be a tribute to my ex. Now it’s a bold, peacocked goddess who actually deserves the space. It felt good to turn something that once made me cringe into a piece that feels powerful, vibrant, and completely mine. I think the best cover-ups don't even look like cover-ups. It's an amazing stand-alone piece.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?"We’ve seen her cry, heal, rage, laugh, and get tattooed on a random Tuesday after too many margs. Some of us meant something deep, some just looked cool, but all of us are hers. No regrets, just stories. We’re the proof she’s been through it and came out way better—and way more inked."
What would you do with the $25,000?If I won $25k, I’d take my mom on the European trip we’ve talked about forever, finally pay off some debt, put a down payment on a house, and of course add to the collection with some new ink. It’d be the first time in a long time I could invest in me without stress attached.
