What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I was pretty buzzed and my sisters ex baby daddy does “tattoos” and I’m like f*** it! So he ended up putting these TERRIBLE prayer hands on my ankle which I only kept because it was the closest thing to having my older sister around that I could get 🥺

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Please, cover me up!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would most DEFINITELY get my disabled mom, my 2 boys, my sister and her ole man plus our 4 dogs out of the itty bitty 1 bedroom apt we have been staying in for the last 4 years and into at least a bit of a bigger place for all of us to breathe in. We’ve earned that after spending the last 10 years homeless on the riverbed in Orange County, CA
