New Ink

It is no secret that I love tattoos, I have 6 but if you looked at me you would have no idea haha. It has been 3 years since I got my last one and I have been itching for a new one. All of my tattoos have a meaning behind it and I do not want to get something just for the hell of it.

I have throwing around a few ideas and here is what I'm hoping to get:

This tattoo would be a mixture of several elements. I want to honor and remember the 5 precious babies that we have lost. During all of my pregnancies I referred to them as sweet pea. So I want 5 sweet pea flowers with the pregnancy loss ribbon and a few butterflies incorporated together.


This one would be representing the month I was born...this is the larkspur fairy. The larkspur is the flower of July. :)


I think this one is self explanatory and will probably happen within the next two weeks. I want a permanent way to remember our first marathon.


I'm excited to complete all of these within the next year or so. :)

Hope you all have an amazing weekend!

  2. I had no clue the larkspur was the flower of July. It's my birth month too. They all look nice.

  9. Butterfly's symbolize new beginnings so I am partial to them but but they are all lovely.

  12. I love the idea of the first tattoo. If you have a motive, please share! I got the tattoo of a lily back when I was in college, because it's my favorite flower. Now that we have our Lily and a Violet, I want to get a tattoo of a violet as well. Still waiting to find out wether this baby is a boy or a girl to see if we need to get yet another flower tattoo. Do you have a tattoo artist of choice or are you going to different studios? All of mine were done by the same guy, and I wouldn't let anyone else touch my skin with a needle and ink :-)
