What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I am a victim/survivor of sexual abuse and rape as well as domestic violence. I was kidnapped at 14 and kept for 2 days in a sound proof basement by a man of about 50 years old. He repeatedly raped and beat me after tying me up. I escaped after begging and promising my captor that I wouldn't tell and would return to find him. I was in the shelter with my son after suggering Domestic violence in 2019 and was able to get on my feet. And now as an adult I have embraced my story.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would speak of the beautiful and hopeful person i am. I see beauty in the world and I believe in humanity and the future of the our planet. It speaks of a edge and fun woman with aspirations to tell her tale to the world through her art and body art.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would like to donate back to WARM (WE ALL REALLY MATTER), an organization that assists victims and survivors of Domestic violence. I would like to also pay for my older son to attend school for football. He is a promising future professional athlete and I would like to support him in his journey to that. I would also like to use the money towards moving because although I have survived, I still feel unsafe in my city and would like to receive help to relocate.
