What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My mom, who died 6 months after finding it she was in stage 4 of pancreatic cancer, my granddaughter who passed away at 24 weeks, she only survived for 3 days, sang to her while she took her last breath. Getting my neck broken while working in ER saving lives.Then I added my other granddaughters name, who is 7 years old and my two adult children to it. Last I have a black widow spider on my hip where I was bitten 3 times by a black widow and almost died after a week in the ICU of the hospital.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

She’s a fighter. Raped at 9 years old by a babysitters husband, who she had to keep going to because she knew her mom had no other choice to support us she worked 3 jobs. She survived losing her soul mate/kids father, to motorcycle accident on Mother’s Day 2007, she has died 3 times herself, once from a black widow bite that put her in ICU, but she was all her kids had left so she had to live. She lost her mother to cancer, &her granddaughter, all within a couple years of each

What would you do with the $25,000?

Pay my car off/fix my car, and buy me some property I am living with my son right now and would love to have my own property to build my own home on. I work as a manager at 2 jobs so I can build it slow and still have $ to live. Even if it’s just an acre i would build my home on it, and no one could take it from me. Give whatever I had left to my babies who are adults now with bills and their own little families, because I always had to make sure we survived so they deserve a gift from mo
