Sandina Pint-Baron

What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I went down a dark scary path mentally for awhile. I never fully went through with the act because my kids and pets are what saved me and helped pull me out of that dark place. I also started seeking help after that. So I had a friend help design my daily reminder tattoo. It's a green ribbon for mental health with the words enough in the top of the ribbon. So I know I am always enough. The semi colon, and then a cross to know God is always with me and I'm never alone.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My current ink would tell a story of my birth, faith and struggle. It would say when I was born and under what stars. It would say that I'm a faithful person. And it would also say that I've been through some stuff but I'm still here fighting. the other tattoos I have planned will continue my story. I have plans for my kids, pets that have crossed the rainbow bridge, my childhood. If I win, I have my most beautiful piece in mind to honor my mother and to keep her close to me.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Oh there's so much. It would help overcome some bad stuff in my life. I would use it to help care for my dad and fix things around his place. With my mom's very recent unexpected passing I have stepped up caring for him and will continue to do so with his upcoming surgery. My mom was my best friend and it's really affected me and all I want to do is help be there for my dad and repay everything they ever did for me the best I can. I'd also like to help get my pet business up and going as well.
