My most recent tattoo is a teddy bear with a halo on it and it is inspired by my best friend/boyfriend who sadly passed away in 2021 due to cancer. He was someone I he’s so close to my heart and my nickname for him was Bear because he was like a giant goofy teddy bear. When I chose the tattoo I made sure that it was a bear with a coy smirk because that was the kind of person he was, funny, sarcastic and always smiling over a joke he just thought of or made.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?I only have a few tattoos at the moment but my hope is that they tell the story of my journey. I know I’m still at the beginning of my path and there are still a lot of things that I’m going to experience both happy and sad. I hope that in 50 years, my tattoos can express those moments and tell a tale of my life’s journey.
What would you do with the $25,000?Probably pay off my school loans. I am just a week away from graduating for my Masters degree and I am so grateful for it but it came at a price and the $25,000 would cover it. The remainder of it I would probably plan a trip with me and my two best friends to just relax with them. But the main thing would be paying for school.
