Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo was a koi fish that was inspired by spending time with my mother. After my father’s passing my mother moved my brothers and I into a new house with a huge pond filled with koi. We would spend hours talking about the fish and admiring them.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak it would tell you about myself. The koi fish to remember summer days with my mother, the all seeing owl to represent her by using her favorite animal. The police badge that my three brothers and myself all got to remember my fatger who passed away from cancer when I was eight years old. A drawing my brother drew for my father with a quote out of his obituary.Little by little my tattoos express my life story and things i’m passionate about… my family.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Honestly it has been a dream of mine to get a tattoo from Bang Bang.If I won the $25,000 I would obviously make that dream come true, but more importantly I would give my mother some to show the appreciation I have for her after raising four boys all by herself.I would finally get a house my fiancé deserves. I would also like to put a large portion away for my beautiful daughter who is my heart. Tattoos and supporting my family, two things I’m passionate about.
