Day 18

I decided to upload some pictures of my tattoos. They are a really big part of my life, and each one means something special to me. The one inside my bottom lip was my first, I didn't know if I really wanted a tattoo so I decided that was the best place to get it because it's impossible to see unless I show you. The letters LJK are my brothers' initials. He died when we were younger so I wanted something special for him. This was done at Incredible Ink in downtown Orlando, Florida.

I got this next one after I realized how much I love tattoos. This is Lemmie's portrait on the right side of my ribs. I absolutely love this, it's such a perfect representation of him. Done by Albert Diezhandino at Violet & Blue's Tattoos in Orlando.

This is the third tattoo I got. It's Latin for "She Flies With Her Own Wings." This really represents who I am as a person, I'm very independent (almost to a fault). Done by Tiffanie Violet at Violet & Blue's Tattoos in Orlando.

This tattoo was an idea I thought of while wanting to get a family tree. I realized that my heart was in the roots of my family and so I intertwined the ideas and this is what I came up with. I love it. Done by Albert Diezhandino at Violet and Blue's Tattoos in Orlando.

This is my most recent piece. It's part of the E.E. Cummings poem called I Carry Your Heart and the part I have reads "You are whatever a moon has always meant... ...and whatever a sun will always sing is you." Done by Albert Diezhandino at Violet & Blue's Tattoos in Orlando.

I had a great night with my sisters. We had some nasty strawberry lemonade that burned your throat like shots of Grey Goose! But it was still fun! Enjoy the tattoo pictures!
