Ariel From the time I was a little girl, I knew I was going to follow in my father’s footsteps. The art form of tattooing always intrigued me, and it became my life’s goal to put my work on other people’s bodies. My blank slates as I called them, ready and waiting for me to help the individual express themselves. I’m fully tatted and pierced and I love myself the way I am and will not change that for anyone. I had tried my hand at love once before, but it didn’t turn out very well, so I gave up and concentrated on making my shop successful. Then one night I came in contact with my high school crush, Dillon Connelly. And he changed everything. Dillon Growing up, I knew I needed to escape my parents’ house and make something of myself. My sixth-grade science teacher, Mrs. Masters, changed the course of my life and encouraged me to reach for something better. I worked hard and became a doctor, graduating at the top of my class. No one was holding me back from my goals in life. I’ve always been searching for something, never quite figuring out what that was until a familiar patient’s daughter became my soul purpose for living. Could she be the one?
