The Celtic cross was a mistake letting a cousin practice. The rest of my tattoos are all about my family heritage, being Lakota Sioux.

The most recent tattoo was the Celtic cross on my calf. My cousin was getting into tattooing and he wanted to practice on someone other than himself and the practice pieces he had. One night while drunk I finally agreed. It was supposed to be much smaller, like 4” tall. I passed out before he drew it on before he started tattooing. I woke up to this tattoo I hate. Moral story, don’t get tattooed while drunk, and don’t let someone practice on you until they have been doing
If your ink could speak, what would it say?WíiyA yúzA wíiyA tȟéča. Tȟašúŋke wíiyA, wííyA yuhá kȟáŋ wíiyA kin he? Which translates to “The great spirit is in us all. By using all of your senses he will speak to you and protect you. I take my heritage very seriously and if I had the opportunity and money I would have a lot more ink to represent that.
What would you do with the $25,000?Well I would probably buy a new truck. I was in an accident in September that totaled my dream truck. I was devastated. Two weeks later I was hospitalized because of injuries to my gall bladder that had caused a stone to pass and almost destroyed my pancreas. I was in and out of the hospital for 7 months. I have not worked since about a month after the accident so unfortunately right now I have to rely on rides to get anywhere because I can’t afford a new vehicle.
