My most recent tattoos were a daffodil and a husky. The daffodil is for my Nana Judy—she was born in March, and our family has a Welsh lineage. The husky is an homage to my dog, who was with me through everything. Got them both the same day—one for where I come from, one for who’s walked beside me.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, it’d say: “This is me—unapologetically.” Some pieces tell stories, some don’t. Either way, they’re my armor—not to hide, but to wear my truth on my skin. It’s brave to show up as yourself, and this is how I do it.
What would you do with the $25,000?First, I’d get more tattoos—let’s be real. But the rest? That’s going toward finishing school and investing in my future. I’m building a life I’m proud of, one step (and one piece of ink) at a time. And I have no intention of slowing down anytime soon.
