What inspired your most recent tattoo?

Ohhhh, my sternum/neck piece! I’ve wanted a large scale tattoo on my chest for years. It wasn’t until age 49, after the passing of my eldest daughter, Zoe was I able to not only find the courage, but the most ferocious, empowering energy to finally step into me…..and not give a damn about who had an opinion or why.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

-GIVE ME MORE!!! -Ha. When I’m 80 I’ll be the most bad ass grannie on the block! -Keep looking, you’ll soon have a vast understanding of the human who paid for these.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d donate a good portion to Children's Hospital Boston and UCLA’s art/music therapy program. Before Zoe’s passing, we spent tons of time between CHB and UCLA for Zoe’s cardiac care, the music and art therapists quite literally saved Zoe’s emotional/mental health. This is where kiddos heal, with art and music…and a gaggle of love. I may save a little to start my back piece!
