This is my tattoo, taken by my friend Melisa Holloman.
I wanted a tattoo for three years, but I couldn’t bring myself to just do it. I was kind of a baby about the needle thing. Well one day, I was off work an hour early and didn’t have to be at school for another three hours. So instead of going home, I drove myself to get a tattoo! I knew what I wanted, so it wasn’t a long process. Now I’m glad I have the “be free” tattoo, because I’ve gotten an anchor on my leg since then too! That one symbolizes my man who is in the Navy, and far away from me.
They weren’t lying when they said tattoos are addicting.. I have an appointment next week to get my favorite quote on my side… “When the power of love exceeds the love for power, the world will finally know peace.”
