My Grandad recently passed away. I miss him terribly. He will always be a Sailor. My Father is a Sailor. My Uncles, too. From The U.S. Navy & The Royal Australian Navy to Whaling Captains off the coast of New Zealand. This is for the men in my life. I Love You Guys.

This is my map of the world piece I had finished in the beginning of February. It was done by Evan at Paris Tattoos in Charlotte, NC.
Growing up, I always had the mentality that the whole world was open to me, and that anything could happen and I could become anything I wanted to be, as though my future was a blank slate. So, I got this tattoo in lieu of that mindset.
The most painful tattoo I have, but one of the best! Done by Ellwood at 3rd Layer Tattoo in Widefield,Colorado.

It means ‘Forever free’ a reminder that you shouldn’t let you self get down, you can free yourself from negativity. when the tattoo is turned sideways the F looks like an abstract heart to connote to never lose faith in yourself. The lines represent dreams, thoughts and my ongoing path in life :)
This is my first tattoo and right now the most meaningful. When I was just 7 years old I was diagnosed with Leukemia, a certain type of cancer. It was really rough on my family and myself but we got through it and I’ve been in remission for about 5 years. It’s been 7 years since I was first diagnosed and I’m 15 now. The black birds represent the struggles I’ve faced in the past during this fight and the Orange bird represents the Leukemia survivors ribbon color. The orange bird is a reminder to myself that in the end everything is going to be fine and I’ll be okay. My tattoo artist is amazing. Everyone calls her Ch-Ch-Ch-Chavez and she’s truly talented and amazing and she helped make this experience of my first tattoo memorable. ♥
