What inspired your most recent tattoo?

The mended heart - my boyfriend and I are "sappy" hopeless romantics. This is a matching tattoo we both have. My heart was broken into pieces after a bad divorce. I worked to put it back together again and make it beautiful for myself, but it was missing a piece. My boyfriend filled in the empty spot. Kintsugi art repair was inspiration for the design.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

I put thought and meaning into the art on my body. Breathe... just breathe - my father said that to me so many times, and it's the best response to any situation - just breathe. I've been a nurse for 27 years and I love owls. Athena was would sit with a patient while Florence did her work, distracting them and giving them peace and comfort. I always want my patients to have a positive interaction with me - I hope the adaorable, calm, intelligent, protective My mended heart shows I'm resilient.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would love to take a grand vacation, but my house is 100 years old and many of the windows are the original ones. I need new windows and will most likely the majority of the money for that. I also promised my youngest son to help him move to Japan - so some of the money will go to his travel fund. Which means I need to give the older 2 some money to put towards their houses for updates.
