I got a Japanese peony because it represents the balance of strength and softness…qualities I strive to embody. In Japanese culture, it symbolizes bravery, honor, and prosperity, reminding me to stay resilient while embracing vulnerability. It’s more than ink…it’s a reflection of growth, grace, and inner power.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?I am strength wrapped in softness, a warrior in bloom. I’ve been through storms but still choose to grow beautifully. I’m not just art…I’m a reminder that resilience and grace can coexist, and that there’s power in choosing to rise with elegance every time I’m tested.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I won $25,000, I’d invest in my future, starting with building a creative business that blends my passion for art and beauty. I’d also take care of my family, pay off debts, and set aside a portion for travel and inspiration. This win wouldn’t just change my life…it would help me create something meaningful that inspires others too.
