I lost my grandma in 2023, she was my mother who raised me and when she passed I had a butterfly land on me, that in my brain was her coming back and letting me know she’s safe and came back as one of the most beautiful creatures, so I put a butterfly on my throat in a reminder of her, the two skulls on either side is my grandma and grandpa.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?It would tell a sad hurtful story but through the story, you would learn what made me into this beautiful kind caring person, the hard ship that could’ve sunk me but taught me lessons, the escape I got when I was under the needle, how it taught me to love my body for my body.
What would you do with the $25,000?I have two kids I am always away from working while their grandma raises them with me, I would love nothing more then to be able to put a down payment on a house and cut my hours back to be home comfortably financially with them where we all belong.
