What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo has a meaning of letting go and start living. On my son's 5yr anniversary of his death, I was having a hard time moving forward. What better to commemorate D's death and let his spirit fly was my elbow butterfly. It flies! So does D's spirit and my heart soars with him.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My arm tattoo says, never loose your way home, remember the time I passed away, don't loose track of time, when you see the waves of the ocean, think of me, I am always by your side, and the 3 birds flying high are the 3 that died that day, being released to soar to heaven. May they always have peace.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Since I lost everything, finding my husband cheating and leaving me for his mistress. I rent a room from my best friends. They rescued me and gave me a roof, love, comfort and fed me. Got me on my feet. With this money, I would get my own home. My own oasis. To begin again.
