What inspired your most recent tattoo?

The sunflower on my underarm was inspired to better days coming,after all the pain that I endured through the loss of my son. It’s going on two years where I have tortured myself and my body. I finally forgive myself for not being the perfect mother to him.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

I feel I give chola chicana vibes, I’m very religious and have a huge Virgin Mary tattoo on my left leg. I love fashion, everyday alive is your personal fashion show. However I would prefer staying nude and admiring myself in front of the mirror.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would go to the dentist and fix my teeth, and with the money I would have left I would like to start a clothing brand. I have already thought of the name Sad Soul. I would also be able to buy a tombstone for my son Christopher DeLeon.
