My 1st tattoo is my brother's logo for his artwork. He drew it and another put the ink to it. It has his moniker and our reunion date.

What inspired your most recent tattoo?

The cover up tattoo on the back of my neck is the most recent. My inspiration for it is the pride & love that I feel for my 3 sons & their children. Although it is not completed, when it is finished it will have a honeysuckle vine & surrounded by angry red wasps. There will be 5 honeysuckle flowers to represent my beautiful granddaughters & 4 red wasps for my sons & 1perfect grandson. The wasps will be angrily buzzing the flowers to represent their protection of the beauties

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink says, " I am tattoo #1 & I tell the story of a long 12 years of worry & fear for my baby brother finally coming to an end." I am the 2nd tattoo and I am covered by a far better 3rd tattoo. Yes, I am ye old cover up of the ex's last name tattoo. I am proud to show the world that the past should interfere with the future. There are so many beautiful things to celebrate. I represent the proudest & most joyful moments in this woman's life."

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to pay back my family members all the $ that they so unselfishly volunteered during my illness at the beginning of this new year. They all helped me to pay bills after a 10 day hospital stay and 2 full months of recovery with no means to make an income. The rest of it would be applied to the $ I promised my sister I would help to pay on my Mom's funeral & headstone.
