Honestly? Scars! My latest piece, unfinished, is an extension of one of my previous tattoo’s on my left foot. I’m extending it all of the way up the leg to my hip. Why? It’s something I’ve had envisioned for a while but, over the last 3 years I’ve had to undergo several surgeries, 3 of which were on my hips. That was the final push to start this piece… to cover the scars!!!

“She’s crazy, don’t trust her!!!” j/k. It would say, here’s a woman who grew up feeling ugly and “less than” all of her life… like so many other women experienced as well. It would tell you that, while some of the ink on this now “perfect for me” body might seem random, each piece made sense at each moment in time. The 1 I have that holds true meaning is my guitar on my hip… I got it when my oldest brother passed away…

Simply? I’d stop feeling like I was drowning in debt. Stop having to fake being happy & hiding how anxious I am. That money, would get us caught up with bills & could throw a chunk into savings! I went from being the “bread winner” to being on long term disability, 3 years ago. We’ve been fighting/clawing our way out of this lake we’ve been submerged in. But, every time the surface is in reach, we get pulled further down. This would mean Everything!
