I love Aloha vibes and family so I went straight to Tim Goodrich, owner of Aloha Tattoo in Oahu, HI to get my calves done. With back to back sessions a shark and wolf were blasted on each leg. My brother's name is Wolfe so I had to represent my family love. Best part is, I trust Tim to always put his fresh spin on my traditional ideas. Same with the shark. The shark represents never allowing anyone to ever make you a victim. I am a strong Native woman with an incredible story.

It would say that I am a bad ass with class and style. Traditional is timeless, and my artists reflect that. Each one has decades of experience, and my complete trust. Every tattoo has their individual style and symbolizes its traditional meaning. I love all cultures, and the fact when I'm 80 and my body is blasted in art I'm going to be the sexiest grandma in the nursing home. The point is, each piece represents a person I love, challenge I've overcome, or symbol to manifest that money baby!

Obviously, get more tattoos! As a single woman there's a lot I could do with that money. Spending it on a vacation to Oahu, HI with my kids, and getting tatted by Tim Goodrich at Aloha Tattoo sounds like priority number one! After that I could pay off some student loans. I'm currently earning my Master's Degree at Seattle University & then headed to Seattle University School of Law to become an attorney. I just want to protect the people who can't protect themselves.
