Jan 3rd, My first tattoo

OMGGG!!!

I finally did it… I got my first tattoo!!

Actually, two tattoos.

And I LOVE them.

It wasn’t as painful as I expected....or maybe my pain tolerance has just gotten better.

I’ll insert pictures when I get time.

So, the first one is MAA in handwritten text with tiny leaves. Her name means creeper. I don’t really know how to describe the location...let’s say it’s near the brachial artery. ( I was planning it to get on her birthday, since we were on a trip, I got it on Jan 3rd)

Why did I get this, and what does it mean to me?

I don’t know… I want to give her everything she deserves, but I’m not able to yet. It comes from a place of helplessness. I just want her to know that she is everything to her kids. It’s a gesture of gratitude, and it also reminds me of her resilience...of what it took for me to be here. It’s grounding.

The second one is a tiny heart on my shoulder.

I got it as a symbol of self-love. In the beginning, I wanted it on my middle finger, but the shoulder felt more personal.

It’s a filled heart. It means I’m full and complete...and yeah, no one gets to break that.

I wrote this for myself...not to explain, but to remind myself.
