Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

The fighting rooster i got on my back was to represent my mom and the fight she took on when she had me. I was told by her that she didnt have much will til she found out she was pregnant with me and everything she did there after was strong and resilient. She went on to graduate as an RN and now runs USCs medical program. She got us out of the hood and into the suburbs with a sorry partner and realized she had to do everything for herself and her kids. To leave us with a legacy so shes my hero

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Thank you mom. I wont let up. You are my everything

What would you do with the $25,000?

Probably help her. I have never been able to. I was a bad kid and never really gave her the kudos she deserved because ive never made money like that. Every time i had a savings something in my life would take it all from me (car accidents, student loan denial, losing my job having to pay rent) ive never had more than 5k in my bank account so to help her would mean everything. Invest in my business to help make more money for me and my family. Pay off student debt
