Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

What inspired my most recent tattoo was my family..... it's lettering with a splash background that reads "God's Work".....it's to remind me and them that despite the struggles in life we all have to go through and deal with in order to achieve something great......make sure to never forget to align your motives towards a "higher good".....and never forget where you came from....

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak..... it would tell you that that it has been through and seen many hardships.....it would say that the trauma endured by all those hours on that chair was purely for cathartic reasons...to escape the grim realities this person has endured....the depression...anxiety ...self-hate...to be able to be free even for a brief time....it would tell you that it has seen many fake friends....honest enemies.....and pain only self-abuse could help placate....

What would you do with the $25,000?

Considering that I will be going back to TX for medical school ...and have recently purchased a property out there....what I would do with the money is create a farm and garden at my residence and use it to teach kids how to care for both animals and plants....the idea is to try and work alongside local schools to have kids come over to be taught how to nurture and care for them....possibly as an afterschool program or elective for credit ..and show them how beautiful living things are....
