I have a connection to tattoos. The concept of having a part of your life always with you is something I find very powerful. As a mom of multiple miscarriages the feeling of representing those children I never got to see grow up – as art on my body has helped heal me in so many ways. It helps me feel them close and it opens up a lot of conversations with people who ask what they mean – which is a good thing.
I have this fun yearly tradition – that has been going on for almost 10 years now where I get something done every year {this year I went with a piercing … well, 3} . Either a new tattoo or a new piercing but if it’s a tattoo I always choose something that is meaningful – has some connection to me that is big enough for me to carry it with me forever.
I love hearing the story behind other’s decisions for their tattoos – they are often very personal and have some amazing stories behind them.
