Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo experience was shared w my two teenagers. My girls got their first tattoo in Feb., an exact replica of a wave I have on the top of my hand. It’s simple & small, most meaningful, & I look at it 100x a day. In moments of defeat & uncertainty, I have two choices, I can either fight the waves or ride them. All waves eventually pass. The ocean is so strong, & so am I. We wear our wave proudly, & I’m honored to share a piece of myself w them 🌊

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

They’d say, “pull up Pinterest & go to your quotes board,” Lord knows I can’t rem every quote in relation to what each of my tattoos represent. When I got sick in 2014 I began to draw as means to cope. I sketched a half sleeve, which I eventually got tattooed. I thought “hell ya, good job.” Could it be better, sure. Is it a reflection of where I was during the scariest time of my life, YES! Do I want to crash out like a wave some days, also YES! 🤦🏽‍♀️

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d buy a boat. The ocean brings me sm peace. My husband & I are middle school sweethearts. Our two income household was reduced to one when I got sick. He works his butt off for us, never turning his back on me as I got worse. One thing my disability hasn’t robbed me of is my ability to cast a line in the water. Despite my physical limitations, we always find time to fish. It’s therapeutic, & our whole family loves it. I’d name it Ink & Water!
