Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My peony sleeve is a reflection of growth—not just in design but in who I’ve become. For a long time, I struggled to define myself under the weight of others' expectations. Getting this tattoo was an act of reclaiming my identity, choosing something I love purely for myself. It’s a daily reminder that I’m allowed to evolve, to embrace who I am, and to feel comfortable in my own skin

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My tattoos are a reflection of where I’ve been, what I love, and the risks I’ve taken. They’re patchwork memories—each one tied to a place, a moment, or a lesson. Some mark the start of my tattoo journey, others remind me to embrace adventure. If they could speak, they’d say: take chances, make stories, and wear them proudly

What would you do with the $25,000?

$25,000 would be life-changing for my tattoo journey. I’d use it to refine my skills, travel to learn from artists I admire, and invest in opportunities that push my creativity further. Tattoos shaped who I am, and this would help me give back—collaborating on meaningful projects, being even more apart of the tattoo community and continuing to make work that represents stories worth telling
