My aunts untimely passing. She had this special power of making you feel seen entirely and her laugh and smile were so infectious. Her tattoo ended up landing on my hand. I was going to get a rose as the main focal point but opted for wild flowers are they reminded me more of how her happiness spread so easily - just like wild flowers. I got a butterfly perched on a flower as I saw tons of them once she passed and in the butterfly wing is a rainbow as I saw one driving back after her funeral.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?Oh gosh. This is a loaded question but try and express what they would say - I would have to guess that they would scream loudly to the world that ,” This is me. This is my journey. These are my most beautiful and most painful moments for all to see. The memories that take my breath away and the ones where I found myself. Take it or leave it, they aren’t for you - they are a reminder of who I am and why. “
What would you do with the $25,000?I would put it into my growing business and I would take a trip somewhere as I have had a lot of personal things happen this year that were pretty major and it would be nice to take a trip somewhere to disconnect and to have a quiet moment alone away from all the chaos to just breathe and explore and create some healing moments with myself.
