Ladies and gentlemen, around the world, this is the meaning of T.K. Kirkland, you listen to the T.K. Kirkland podcast.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the T.K. Kirkland Show, T to the motherfuckin' K. Listen, I have traveled all around this country and you know, I run into different people all the time, interesting people,

people are doing great things and what I always try to do every week is bring you a story to prevent you from getting your answers in trouble, to teach you how to save money, to teach you how to get your credit good, and to also inspire people, and also the help people who are doing something positive to win a list of politics or competition or to raise money.

And today we have a young lady who I find extremely amazing, I love her energy, she's been supporting me for over 27 years all my shows in Chicago, Atlanta, wherever I'm at, she's there, her whole family comes to my show.

She buys all my damn merchandise for who raised it to job straps, I'm just peeing with the job straps up, I'm just trying to show you how supportive she is.

So this is me giving something back to this sister and I truly appreciate it. She has beautiful tattoos and I never did an interview on something of this nature, this magnitude.

But she's in, she's a competition, she's going to try to be the first beautiful African American woman that will grace the cover of ink magazine, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the one and only key in ladies and gentlemen.

A lot of applause, applause, applause, people screaming, let's just hear what the story is, bam, gee, let's go it all down.

Hi, how you doing today? I'm doing good, sister, I'm doing good. So let's jump right into it. Now what made you one, how old were you when you first started getting tattoos?

First tattoo was 18 years old, my mother almost kid.

Oh, that's how she did. Now what made you want to get it and why didn't you tell her?

I was rebellious, of course, living in the streets of Chicago on the west side. So I wanted a little female devil on my back, don't know why, but I got it and she almost killed me.

Oh, yeah, that's not bad. Did she try to take you some places to get it off or she just accepted it?

She just accepted it and made sure that I couldn't wear nothing, not showing my back at all until I was gone.

Now what did your grandmother know?

No, my grandmother never knew.

Because your mom was upset, your grandmother was stamping.

Yes, yes, she was.

And this is just how it was back in the day.

See, back in the day, wow, I mean, you're not as old as me, but you're not, you're far behind me, but you're still in that, in that zone.

And what I'm trying to say, they're back in the day. Are you young kids? If you listen to that, if you had a tattoo on your ass,

you would sit at like a gang member rebellious or you looked down upon like idea you have a tattoo.
