I struggled with mental health a lot of my teenage years and many of my tattoos tell the story of my growth and strength.

What inspired your most recent tattoo?

my most recent tattoo is an “ eye of the storm “ tattoo, and as for much of my art, it represents the strength and resilience I’ve gained throughout the many “ storms “ I’ve been stuck in.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

That something beautiful can come out of so much pain. Flowers grow even in the darkest parts of the garden. You are what you make of the situation, so make it something meaningful and beautiful. Be strong and keep pushing. There’s light at the end of the tunnel.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use it to help my mother pay off her CareCredit card that she used to pay for my medical bills when I was in the hospital. The rest I would save and put towards a home. I never saved up or even planned on living long enough to move out, let alone buy a home of my own. So now I’m at a financial stop sign. I’m stuck, and this money would help turn my life around.
