What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is my neck piece which is a multi colored photorealism rose. I lost both my grandmothers a month apart from eachother in 2022, I learned life is too short as they were both turning 63 the year they passed. So the tattoo colors symbolize the color birthstones of those closest to me who helped raise me including both my grandmothers. It’s my most meaningful piece as well

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would tell you in the beginning I made many mistakes in my walk of life but learned throughout the process. When I had my SA attempt in 2018 I believe that when my heart stopped my last breath was me exhaling the past and my first breathe was me inhaling the future. I got a second chance to life so this time I want to succeed and be happy & free.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would get myself out of my young self debt that has held me back from a lot of potential in the future, and put the remainder away to build onto the stepping stone to make a solid future for myself and my family. One day I want to build my own house but with that comes sacrifice and a lot of $$ so this would help build that dream into becoming a reality.
