Enter For FreeMy most recent piece says “life is so exciting”—it’s my daily reminder to stay present, to find wonder in the chaos, and to lean into joy. After that, I had the word “power” tattooed at Ephemeral Tattoo, which has since faded. Even though it's gone, the energy behind it still lives in me. Each tattoo, whether permanent or passing, has been a way to mark a moment I never want to forget.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink would speak with soul—pushing me to stay curious, bold, and open to the ride. It would remind me that every feeling, every moment, adds to the masterpiece.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would build a creative studio to organize, design, and bring my fashion and artistic ideas to life with clarity and freedom. It would be a hub for designing, producing, sewing, styling and content creation, somewhere that truly helps me to reflect my vision and turn my concepts into reality and brings the community together. Thank you for the opportunity!
