Enter For FreeRight before I moved home from Vegas, my best friend and I got matching tattoos during a BOGO sale—our way of marking the moment. We chose a jar with soot sprites because I introduced her to Studio Ghibli, and it became something special we shared. Not knowing when we’d see each other again, it was the perfect symbol of our bond and a memory I’ll carry with me.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, it would tell the story of my life—every high, every heartbreak, every turning point. From the “young and dumb” lower back tattoo to the one I got at a fundraiser for the 1 Oct shooting in Vegas, each small piece marks a moment, a memory, a lesson. They may not be big, but they’re mine—and together, they chart the path I’ve walked.
What would you do with the $25,000?As a single mom to a disabled child, I fight every day to give us a safe, stable life. Our home has major issues—from the foundation to the wiring—that I didn’t know about when I bought it. With $25,000, I won’t just patch things up—I’ll fix them for good. This isn’t about comfort; it’s about giving my child the secure, healthy home we both deserve.
