The first tattoo I did on myself is my biggest milestone and symbolizes my ability to overcome my depression, do cool shit and love my life.

The last tattoo I got was one I did on myself. It is a simple blacked-out heart, and it's actually a cover up. I got a local pizza shop's logo tattooed on me for free pizza every week (bc who wouldn't take that deal?) and they decided not to honor it. So fuck lying corporations -- I'm not your billboard. It was also my first little black out tattoo which I had wanted forever so I am really happy with it.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?Many of my tattoos are for people who have passed, so they'd reveal that I am a sentimental & caring person -- so many hearts. As I live more life, I realize how short and precious our time really is. I love nature so I've got flora and fauna, my fave being Ferdinand the bull who loves to chill and hates to fight, a way of being that shaped me as a person for sure. I also have some from Friday 13th since I started tattooing around Halloween and had fun with the dope flash of the time.
What would you do with the $25,000?I have struggled with money my entire life and have only ever really wanted one thing: a small plot of land so I can build a homestead. I have rented, moved around, been homeless... I love nomad life, but I'd really love some stability to finally make a place to call home. The money would allow me to live free from the worry of not having food, because I'd have a place to grow it. Free from the worry of making rent -- I'd be allowed to exist. Like Ferdinand, I just don't want to fight anymore.
