Tattoos

I often get funny looks from people when I tell them that I have tattoos. Unless I am wearing a swimsuit or something that shows my back you would have no clue that I have them. I am not one to get a tattoo just because, all 6 of mine have special meaning. 

Let's have a little show and tell. LOL!

This was my first tattoo...I had went skydiving with my sister that morning and at the last minute we decided to go get my first tattoo done. I was very involved with my church at the time and I thought this tattoo was very fitting. 


My second one I got done after my divorce was final, it was my gift to myself after putting up with a lot  of bad stuff. 


This is the chinese symbol for Faith...I had Faith in myself to walk away from a bad situation and not look back


Chinese symbol for Strength. I had the strength to walk away from the bad situation and stand up for what I knew wasn't right.



When my Mom was diagnosed with cancer my sister and I wanted to do something special. The ribbon is the pancreatic cancer ribbon and the monarch butterfly is very special because my sister saw this the morning my Mom was diagnosed. She said she still sees one flying around outside every now and then.


I got this tattoo done when Kyle was deployed. I wanted to do something to honor him and show my never ending support and love. 


I am working on ideas for tattoo #7, can't wait to see it finally get done!!

What about you all? Any tattoos?
