New Edition

I wanted to share my newest edition of artwork with the world! A few years ago an idea popped into my head and I finally brought that idea to fruition. I wanted one footprint for each of my kids ( the originals off of their birth certificates mind you) ,mixed in with some stars and wind swirls, made into some form of art work. I decided on permanent art that i will carry with me everywhere I go for the rest of my life! I gathered up the birth certificates and took myself down to the tattoo shop where I presented my idea to the artist and let him have free range with it. Because I have super sensitive skin and i like to swell when i am scratched, or anything abrasive happens at the surface, or deeper to my skin, so i had to go through two sessions. This is the end of the first session. The footprints are finally there!!! Going from the top in a clockwise direction: Bryce, Hailee, Kaden and Kaleb :0) After two weeks of waiting and healing I was able to go back in and have the work finished. The artist added wind swirls. To me that represents how fast time flies by. You blink and the moment is gone, like leaves in the wind. The stars are representative of the far reaches of dreams I have for my kids. I absolutely LOVE my tattoo. It is not just a tattoo to me. It is a constant showcase of my love for my children. No matter how big they get, where they go in life, or what they do, they started within me and I will carry them through whatever comes our way. I want them and the world to know that they are my life. I love them more than I ever imagined a person could love. So in a sense this piece of art that will be carried with me for my entire life will be the conversation piece that will open the bragging rights porthole for me, as well as become a constant reminder for my kids of their mothers love for them. I am very pleased and more than proud for this to be a part of me, just as I am with my babies :0)
