Enter For FreeMy wife and I got matching tattoos from a Japanese artist in NYC—a modern take on a crown. It was something small and cost-effective to start with, but it symbolized stepping into our own. I’ve always wanted to pursue large-scale pieces, but life—school, family, and now kids—took priority. That crown marked the beginning of something personal, and now I’m finally ready to expand on that dream.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?I’m just the beginning—small, intentional, and waiting for the story to unfold.
What would you do with the $25,000?I’d buy a Steinway piano for my kids, who are thriving in music and constantly inspiring me. Their passion deserves an instrument that will last a lifetime. If there’s anything left, I’d either invest in additional tattoos I’ve dreamt of or put it toward improving our home—building something lasting for the family that’s always come first.
