Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo was inspired by my grandfather, who recently passed away. One of the small but meaningful ways we connected was through cigarettes— would always bring him some when I visited. It became our quiet tradition, something simple that carried a lot of love. This tattoo honors that bond and the memories we shared. It's my way of keeping a piece of him with me always.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

"We are not just ink. We are her armor. Her truth. Her therapy. We are the words she couldn't say, the screams she swallowed, the freedom she carved into her skin." "We witnessed every tear, we felt every bruise— not just the ones on her body, but the ones no one could see." "We are her rebellion. Her healing. Her way of saying: 'You didn't break me. You only painted the canvas of who I was always meant to be.'"

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I won the $25K, I’d take my boys—my kids—on the trip of a lifetime. We’d explore new places, hit theme parks, try new foods, and make memories they’ll never forget. Maybe the Grand Canyon, or even overseas. No work, no distractions—just quality time, laughs, and bonding. That money would buy something priceless: moments together they’ll always remember.
