What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My inspiration was my 6 year old daughter, Mother and Father, you see all three were murdered in 1995. I had never felt so much pain or emptiness in my entire life. My best friend held me together and was absolutely supportive of me during their deaths and during the murder trial as well. She took me to get my first tattoo, which was a dancing bear in honor of my daughter who loved stuffed teddy bears and loved to dance. My second tattoo was a beautiful monarch in memory of my mom.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

This girl has been thru the storm and made it back better than she left.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would like to start a scholarship fund in my deceased daughters name, you see at the time of her death she was a student at the Foreign Language and Immersion Elementary school, at at 6 years old she spoke Spanish, and was on her way to mastering Japanese.
