What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo I have being done is to represent my foster dad who I lost to suicide back in 2021. He was a major motorcycle enthusiast and closes person I’ve ever had to a dad. I only have two roses done but hoping to continue it by getting the motorcycle done as well with his birth and death date on. I want to continue his legacy of riding motorcycles. He taught me so much and forever grateful that he was there.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink would say I’ve been through a lot of rough patches as lots go through growing up but I’ve never been brought down. I continue to fight to show my worth and love in this world full of judgement and hate. It would say how much of an impact my dad had to my life that I want to get his memorial done. My quote has always helped me going through school being bullied and getting through a much tougher time in my life of sexual abuse in my younger years.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000 I would pay off my debt to get my life back on track , donate to two charities of my choice towards mental health and to the sexual assault centre that helps victims of sexual abuse, purchase a motorcycle to get back to riding, to do a motorcycle ride to spread his ashes, get a couple more tattoos to tell more of my life story, I would also help out my best friend who has had my back through everything alway there when I need him and save the rest to put towards a house of my own.
