My most recent tattoo was inspired by a personal transformation—a time when I had to rebuild myself from the ground up. It’s a blend of sacred geometry and natural elements, symbolizing balance, growth, and rebirth. Every detail has meaning, and it serves as a daily reminder that pain can become power and struggle can bloom into beauty.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?I am your armor, your truth, and your story. I speak when you’re silent and remind you who you are when the world tries to make you forget. I’ve been through every battle with you, and I’m still standing—etched in skin, pulsing with purpose
What would you do with the $25,000?I’d invest in launching a creative project that helps others tell their stories—whether through art, ink, or media. I want to build something that empowers people to wear their journeys proudly and know they’re not alone. The rest? A bit goes toward future ink, of course—because the story’s not over.
