What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo was inspired by the dark things in my past that have helped make me who I am today. I used an ominous scenery to represent my dark past and the troubles that people go through. I added a moon to represent the light in the darkness. Finally the wolf was added to represent the protection I will provide for the ones I care about. The only color being the blue eyes is to represent me as the soul in the wolf, protecting the ones I care about.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

I think each one of my tattoos would say something different from my wolf on my forearm representing the ones I want to protect. The wolf in the dream catcher on my side representing protection from my mom protecting my dreams and me protecting myself outside my dreams. The cross on my right arm to represent the ones I have lost along the way. The Viking skull on my shoulder representing those warriors who protect the weak until they perish. All together they say make a stand to protect others.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the money to help create a better life for my wife and I in our fertility journey. The money would help us start the family we always wanted and the family I will continue to protect. Of course get my wife and I a new tattoo as we continue our journey.
