My last tattoo, a lotus flower, was inspired by everything I’ve overcame. The lotus grows through muddy water, yet blooms in pure beauty just like me. It’s a symbol of my transformation: rising from pain, choosing peace and finding strength in softness. It reminds me that growth isn’t always pretty, but it is powerful.

My tattoos speak the language of love layered, vulnerable, and unapologetically bold. Each design tells a story: of heartbreak that taught me strength, passion that left its mark, and self-love that saved me. I don’t wear my heart on my sleeve — I ink it into my skin, turning memories into art. These tattoos aren’t just about romance; they’re about growth, healing, and rediscovering myself. My ink reveals a soul that’s felt everything.

If I had $25,000, I’d finally take the first step toward giving my children the one thing I’ve always dreamed of a home of our own. As a single mother of two, I’ve fought hard to keep us moving forward, even when the odds felt stacked against us. This would be our safe haven , something I’ve never had but want to give my kids.
