What inspired your most recent tattoo?

It’s a bandaged with blood. I was a caregiver for my grandfather and going as far as CPR to save his life. The bandage is a story of me still healing

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Thisall started with an insecure little girl looking to cover her stretch markswith beautiful ink. But then that little girl in me realized that tattoos aremore than a beautiful story, it’s a testimony.  The pain to endure a gorgeous illustrationgave it a deeper meaning. The pain from a tattoo can make you feel! I felthappiness, sadness, joy but it helped me overcome an immense since of internalhurt. My ink would say I’m fearless, less apologetic and FREE.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Help people feel seen even in their darkest days. Build a space for my children and I to thrive and enjoy the life God has created for us. It’s all about giving back and making God proud!
