Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo was inspired by other people who don't love me as I deserve to be loved. I have been in a abusive relationship for awhile now, and suffering from depression and so when I got my last tattoo, it was the quote "love me for who I am" and that says it all. I'm deserving of love and I am me.. so love me or leave me.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would tell a story of love and loss and family. I have a tattoo in memory of the loss of my mother, and one in memory of the loss of my father. My daughter and I have 2 matching tattoos in remembrance of my mom and dad. I have a tattoo that my daughter designed when she was only 15 and another tattoo for my children. Each tattoo means something and says something about me and who I am.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would give back to my family who has helped me through so many hard times. I also would get a better place to live and pay off some bills. I would love the opportunity just to have someone so talented create another story for me to share with the world.
