That it doesn’t exist yet—but it’s been living in my heart since I lost my best friend almost a year ago. I want to get a piece inspired by our very first photo together from January 2017—something that captures the love, the laughter, and the bond we shared. It’s not just a tattoo; it’s a tribute to someone who changed my life and who I still carry with me every day.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?'I’m still here. I love you. You mattered.' Or, 'Thank you for the memories. Let’s carry them together.' Or even, 'You were my person. This is how I keep you close.'
What would you do with the $25,000?I’d use the $25,000 to finally bring my dream apartment to life. I’ve spent so long curating lists of pieces that reflect who I am—soft, cozy, a little whimsical, a little moody—and I want my space to feel like an extension of my heart. This would give me the chance to create a home that feels like mine in every corner, from the tiniest decor detail to the overall energy of the space.
