What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo—a sexy queer cowboy centaur—represents my journey to self-acceptance. The centaur, half-human, half-beast, reflects how I once felt split between hiding and embracing my queerness. The cowboy part embodies rugged independence, while its queerness celebrates my bold, authentic self. I used to feel insecure in my skin, but now I’m strutting through life with confidence. This tattoo isn’t just ink—it’s my manifesto, a permanent reminder that

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

"We’re the map of your soul—Mama’s bear hugs in ink, the ‘Cub’ she still sees. We’re Libra’s balance, the Cape Cod tides in your veins, the courage you continuously display despite the fears you have. And oh honey, that centaur? That’s you—unapologetically queer, straddling wildness and wit. Together, we’re your anthem: rooted, brave, and blazing."

What would you do with the $25,000?

25K would mean finally slaying my last dragon - student debt. That monthly payment could instead become savings, travel, or investing in my future. The mental relief would be priceless; no more compounding interest haunting my choices. I'd keep building my career without that anchor, channeling that stress-energy into creativity and growth. True freedom isn't extravagance - it's writing the next chapter on my own terms.
