Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I got a tattoo of Beerus, the God of Destruction, because I’ve always connected with his sassy strength, love of food, and bored confidence—he knows he’s the best. I had him tattooed eating ramen to reflect that vibe and celebrate my artist’s 10-year anniversary. It’s a tribute to a character I love and a special moment with an artist I trust.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak, it would whisper stories hiding in the quiet—of overlooked beauty, resilience in stillness, and the poetry of everyday life. It would speak for moments too fleeting for words, yet too meaningful to forget.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I’d pay off some debt to relieve daily stress and set up a stronger future. I’d save for our honeymoon and put $1,000 in a high-yield account. The rest would go toward a future home since I've lived in small apartments most of my life. As someone newly diagnosed AuDHD and living with chronic illness, I know I won’t always be able to work—this would help me enjoy life now while building lasting security for my loved ones.
