I Am Hope

Mental health has played a huge roll in my life from a young age. I have lost some of the most significant figures in my life by suicide and have lived through my own challenges for as long as I can remember.

In recent years I have been sharing my story on line in the hope that I can help even one person recognise something they may not yet have seen in themselves. The talk around mental health has improved exponentially in recent years but we still have a long way to go and that's why I am such a fan of the work and services provided by 'I AM HOPE'.

For more information on what they do or for more of an insight on why this is so personal to me click the links below.

What am I doing?

I have decided to let my peers select my next tattoo. After 23 suggestions I used a random number generator to select a top 10 and one of these will find its way on to my body permanently. All you have to do is donate and write your chosen tattoo along side your donation.

Each $2 counts as 1 vote. The tattoo with the most votes will get etched upon me in three weeks time.

Your options:

1. 'Shots' (nominated by Melanie O'Mahoney)

2. Molly Hancocks face (nominated by Molly Hancock)

3. Jigglypuff from Pokemon (nominated by Daniela Parvez)

4. La La Tellytubby (nominated by Jess Lisbon)

5. The Trunchbull (nominated by Sammi Robertson)

6. The Bim Bom Girl from This Morning (nominated by Matt Healey)

8. The Count from Sesame Street (nominated by Ryan Gray)
