Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is a milk snake surrounded by roses and a pomegranate. It’s inspired by the milk snake’s Batesian mimicry. Meaning it’s not as scary as it’s seems, but has evolved to protect itself in a beautiful and colorful way. It reminds me that everything changes and we all have to shed our old skin to grow. I call my snake Evie. The pomegranate represents my connection to my Judaism. And the roses are for my mother and my oldest friend who has Cystic Fibrosis.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink is a pep talk in and of itself. Most of my tattoos represent the beauty in resilience and good luck! I think she would tell me to fight the good fight and to live my life authentically.

What would you do with the $25,000?

My first thought is my family who do so much for me and support me through everything I do. They support me in my acting career, they’re my emotional support system and they are my foundation. I want to be able to give back and give them a proper thank you. Whether that’s a family vacation or just paying their some of their bills. Thank you!
