What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I actually chose one of my tattoo artists flash pieces for valentines day, got it done with one of my friends since he wanted to check out my tattoo artist's place they own. I have gone to my artists for about 5 years now, so each time they have flashes I go in and get 3-4 in one sitting by each of them!

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Each one would be able to tell you it's purpose! I struggle with mental health, so my tattoos are also a form of therapy to me. They all have symbolism to me and my artists are amazing at capturing it when we brainstorm designs together. I'm stoked when my ink gains others attention, I ALWAYS get complimented on my tattoos every single time I'm in public! I love sharing my artist's cards, as well as explaining what the tattoos mean when asked!

What would you do with the $25,000?

Paying debt, insulin is expensive these days with or without insurance, sadly! I work 3 jobs, and 3 to just survive in this economy is absurd.. I'd also like to donate to mental health programs, as well as donating towards behavioral therapy clinics. I'm a registered behavior therapist as one of my jobs, so I work with kids, teens & adults on the spectrum and would love to give to clinics in need. (maaaaybe more tattoos if I have some left over!)
