What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo was my back! I wanted to add some floral to my back to blend my hip/leg all together. Growing up my grandma and grandpa were always in the garden. When its warm here in Iowa, it would be Sun up to Sundown in the garden. So ive always loved flowers, and my ink pays as a tribute for my grandparents.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Theres beauty in the small things, details & art is a form of love.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use this money to fund my small business. I am a self employed barber and growing up without help was hard. Id love to use it towards funding my further aspirations and to further take care of my business. Independancy as a woman would feel so empowering. I would also use it towards my school debt, and help getting caught back up on big purchases I made to reach my goals.
