Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I'm going to be honest. I haven't had a tattoo since I was 18. Went through a stage after losing my dad. Just 2, 1 one on my lower back, which I would love to get covered up. It was a mistake The girl had no idea what she was doing, I have been self conscious wearing anything that reveals it, especially swimsuits. The other is on my right foot.Inside of my heel. It's a lily. My dad give me Lily's at my graduation. And when he passed away, I put lilies on his grave.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

I would express the journey. I've gone through in layers. I was 24 left everything i knew & everyone I loved. 1 way ticket to Hawaii I found peace and realized there was so much life to live & not to dwell on death. I wouldn't be where I am today. Our family thinks we're cursed. I believe there's life after death. The tree of life covering my back roots covering the mistake. In the roots flowers of those who have passed in color. Showing there's life after death.

What would you do with the $25,000?

What would I do with $25,000well, I would use some of it to get the tattoo i've been wanting most of my life and be more confident, putting a swimsuit on.The rest of the money I would split it and put into savings for my two daughters. One who is graduating this month and also turning eighteen my youngest is 10. I would also give $ to my mom,after retiring ppl took advantage and she's back working 2 jobs. She suffers pain in her foot
