Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I love lace and vintage clothes so I wanted something that went a long with that style. That is what inspired the garter. The bumblebees in it came from my search some something to symbolize death and rebirth. Most of the symbols that I was on Google didn't appeal to me. But I know that bumblebees don't hibernate, their colonies die off in the fall and in the spring new colonies are born. So for me it fit emotionally since that's something I felt like I went through while moving to NYC on my own

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would say that I'm resilient, I can rise to any challenge and I'll do it in style. I might stumble along the way but in the end I'll be okay.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would try to save a portion of it for a rainy day. The first use would be to give back to my friends and family that supported me on my journey here to NYC. I'd also get new head shots and some acting or singing classes. I moved here to get on the stage but haven't had enough money to continue with classes. I'd also pay off my debt from my cat's dental surgery.
