Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent 2 tattoos were additions to a project I’ve been working on since I started getting tattoos, almost 10 years ago now. I am getting all 30 song titles from Trilogy by The Weeknd. That is one of the single most impactful bodies of work I’ve ever experienced & I still feel just as passionate about it almost a decade later. Music and tattoos are my greatest therapies and this project encompasses both for me perfectly.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak, it would poetically tell the stories of my past lives. It would artistically, wove together all the versions of myself that had to die (and I had to grieve) in order for me to not only be able to survive, but to become the person I am today. *Thank you for your consideration. I was surprised to even get to this phase and regardless of the outcome, this honestly boosted my spirits. Sincerely, thank you*

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest in my physical/mental health. I would also like to start some sort of community outreach for victims/survivors of sexual assault. Incorporating support groups, educational/motivational seminars, self defense classes & providing resources for therapy, legal assistance, housing/relocation, childcare, and food/clothing assistance. It may sound like a lot to do with this amount of money but I already have connections with DA’s office along with their therapy and advocacy dep
