Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo was actually inspired by my childhood hero Steve burns. I went to a convention last year and met him for a signature and hug he asked my name and i told him bug i haven’t gone by my real name since before i was released from foster care. He signed my little notepad with a green crayon then asked if he could draw me a picture i said of course and he drew me a bug so i went and got it tattooed now it’s my little signature.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink would probably say that I’m creative, i enjoy the fun side of life, I’m carefree, life’s been tough but that didn’t stop me from enjoying my moments of tranquility. They’d say i don’t look for the normal, I’m not searching for basic i want the 1 of 1 pieces hidden in the back of your sketchbook. Im lifes little canvas.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Well currently it’s just me and my dog against the world right now. At just 21 years old my husband passed away. I was a sahw at the time and it took awhile to get a job and i would up losing our house. I still have my car so me and my dog are just toughin it out workin as much as we can. I’ma home care worker specializing in dementia and intellectually disabled persons. $25,000 would help me back on my feet and maybe a little would go towards another tattoo..
