Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

Recently I put the King and Queen Chess Pieces on the thumb portion of my hand because every move (now made with thumbs while texting 99% of the time) needs to be strategic and thorough. Same session I put a few music notes in the top of my inner ear. I asked the artist to put some in the ear canal and he for some odd reason refused. I plan on adding more. Music has inspired a a lot of my ink (Juke box on my leg) and has saved me from some dark places in life.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

I've conquered the deepest parts of hell and I am still hear. My left sleeve is an ocean sleeve with a shark and octopus battling while the ocotopus is dragging down a leg (Symbolizing my battles). The anchor says not even anchors can keep me from moving forward. My right sleeve is a space apocalypse and where a watch would sit on my write there is a satellite pointing at my heart because home is where the heart is. My neck pieces are nautical and a cover up of my ex wife's name I found myself.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I am a single father. I would secure our living situation better than it is right now. A portion will go to his rainy day fund. I died in a car accident last year, didn't walk for 8 months didn't work the whole year, multiple surgeries that plus the divorce really put a wrench in things. I would use it to get myself caught up on bills, make my son comfortable and enroll to advance myself from a real estate associate and take my brokers licensing course, start my podcast and coaching aspirations.
