Learn MoreI only have this one tattoo. My brother Jerry took his life at an early age. It shattered our entire family and hit the town like an atom bomb. I am the oldest of 5. I helped raise my siblings and pretty much missed out being a child myself but I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything else in this world. Jerry and I were insepartable. We were best of friends and partners in "crime". He was a scorpio, hence the choice of tattoo.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?"I give you strength at the darkest of times and guidance when you go astray; I guard you from evil and send you my love every single day. I walk beside you....you are not alone; I leave you reminders....little heart stones"
What would you do with the $25,000?I would get Phoenix wings on my entire back that wrap down around my thighs....symbolizing my struggles through this life and coming back even stronger. Like a Phoenix...rising from the ashes. I also have some ideas on sleeves that would symbolize everything important in my life. Everything that makes me...ME. If I could use the money on other things not tattoo related, I would buy a nice little cozy house for my children and I. To have our own sanctuary...HOME.
