My thigh piece done by the incredible Emily Rose Murray in Melbourne, Australia.
The story behind it: Babushkas represent the bond between mother and daughter, pink gerberas are my Mum’s favourite flower, bird of paradise are my favourite flower and Mum had them in her bouquet when she married my Dad. I’ve been wanting this tattoo for about 6 years, and I love how it turned out.

HOPE is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all, And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm.

My very first tattoo ever; 4 hour session with one break! Chad Miskimon of Pinz and Needlez in Baltimore, MD does brilliantly detailed work. I cannot wait to get my next tattoo and he will definitely be the guy that’ll be tattooing me!
This tattoo covers a series of scars from self-harm and means the world to me. Each part of this tattoo symbolizes some part of myself. The poppy signifies healing and growth, the teal paint splatter glorifies my creative side, and the lyrics are those close to my heart. The Used has managed to get me through a lot of obstacles over the years and it seemed only fair to merely thank them by having their lyrics tattooed to remind myself that I am capable of anything.
‘Shine’ by The Used (from their newest album)
“Change never happens by itself,
My time to burn, my time to shine,
Time to make it for myself”
“Look at how a single candle can both defy and define the darkness.”
― Anne Frank

Before getting this tattoo I asked my daughter if she would be afraid of the skull and she replied, “No! Of course not. I have a skull in my head, why would I be scared?” Love the wisdom of four year olds.

I got this on April 6th 2013.\ In high school, a friend of mine introduced my to a graphic novel called Strangers In Paradise. It was a saving grace for me…This is based on a tattoo one of the main characters has. She represents how complicated people are and how you need to remember that life isn’t simple, but you just have to keep going…He killed himself June of last year, I didn’t get to say goodbye. His birthday is April 6th.
This one’s for him.
