What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I have survived a life of abuse pain and fear while also dealing with serious health problems that have imploded my world and quality of life everyday for many years. I have fought for survival and still look In the mirror many times wondering how I’m still standing All of my tattoos are inspired by those things

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would say holy shit I can’t believe you made it It would say you never departed from who you are It would say pain is strength

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use some to spend time with my mom and my whole family that live so far away and I would use some to help my niece reach her dreams …. I bought her her first tattoo machine for Christmas 🥰
