My horror sleeve was inspired by a lifelong love of the genre and what it represents—facing fear, embracing darkness, and finding power in survival. As a mom, life has thrown real challenges my way, and horror reminds me that even in chaos, there’s strength and grit. Each piece in the sleeve—whether eerie or iconic—captures that rush, that resilience, and that edge. It’s not just about scares; it’s about owning every shadow I’ve walked through.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?She’s a warrior wrapped in stories. Every line holds pain she’s turned into power, and every color celebrates her rise. She’s a mom, a fighter, a dreamer—and she doesn’t hide her scars, she wears them as art. Her ink speaks of magic, fear, love, and grit. She’s walked through fire and came out bold, unfiltered, and unapologetically herself.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I won the $25K prize, I’d invest in growing my small business, to support my family and community. As a mom of two, it would help me build a more stable future and continue showing my kids that passion and hard work pay off. I’d also finally finish my full body tattoo vision—because this canvas still has stories left to tell.
