My chest piece is a Japanese phrase that stands for "this too shall pass". I designed it and got it tattooed by a dear friend after being unfairly fired, which wasn't in my 2025 bingo card.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?I believe it would tell a good tale of the growth and challenges of a person going through adolescence. Though some could look cool, they all deep down mean something to me, and I believe if they could speak first words would be "this b*tch -_-"
What would you do with the $25,000?After getting fired, the only thing I care about this year is achieving something for myself. To be honest, with $25k, I can invest half of it to kick-start my own business and the other half to finally enjoy life a little with my people.
