Honestly, my life. It’s been a chaotic ride—full of highs, lows, and everything in between. The tattoo marks the end of that chapter. It’s a reminder of what I’ve survived and a symbol of starting fresh, with a new outlook and a little more hope for what’s ahead.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?I’m a wounded soul, still healing… so if you’re stepping into my world, tread lightly—some pieces are still fragile, but worth discovering.
What would you do with the $25,000?I’d invest it in myself—specifically in pursuing a degree in construction or project management. It’s a field I’m passionate about, and that kind of support would help me take the next big step toward building something solid, not just in my career, but in my life.
