What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I am excited to get my next tattoo—a riff on the Sicilian trinacria but in the form of an octopus—to honor my Sicilian heritage. I’m also planning a text tattoo on my forearm with a quote from Neko Case, to remind me to find joy everyday.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

That I am a strong and resilient woman! I survived cancer, raised two amazing humans, and made it to my sixties! I’m ready for the “me” chapter of my life!’

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest in my children’s future
