Vanessa Goodwin

This elephant is unfinished. It is unique because I described it to my fiance, & he sketched it. His friend freehanded it but didn't finish.

What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My elephant is my most recent tattoo. It was inspired by my Mother who loved and collected elephants. She passed in April of 2016 so it is in honor of her. It was sketched by my fiance but it was supposed to be in color. His friend never finished it. I will still get it colorized some day soon.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

The elephant would say, "I am strong. I am intelligent. I am good luck. I am protection." They symbolize these attributes. They also symbolize loyalty and family. My ink overall says that I haven't found a skilled artist to do my work so far. I plan to find a quality shop with skillful artists since I already have five more I want done and have three that need fixed or finished.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would definitely get my ink done first and a couple of piercings I've been wanting. I would use the rest to put a down payment on a house. I had to start over when my second husband passed and don't own my own home. It would be amazing to have a home to call my own again and to have my grandchildren come and enjoy with me.
