Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My mother has been my inspiration for many things in my life so I figured a tattoo would be another thing to remember her by. It is the vase with a woman’s silhouette on it with Gerber daisies inside which are my mother’s favorite flower. This way every time I look at it I think of her.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would be speaking about all the places I’ve been in my 24 years of life thus far and marking different stages of my life. There are still many empty spaces on my body that are a blank canvas for what lies ahead of me.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to move down to Florida for work and rent an affordable apartment close to Miami. With the remaining funds I would have left over from the move I would gift my mom a vacation of a lifetime since she had me at such a young age she never got to travel the world as I was fortunate enough to. I would send her to Eastern Europe through Croatia, Serbia, Albania and all over.
