"maybe it's the wings?"



i don't take getting a tattoo lightly. including my wings, i have three of them and each of them have incredible significance and a wonderful story behind them, the way i think tattoos should be. if done with careful thought and consideration, i think tattoos are a wonderful way to express who you are.

i was watching an episode of "LA ink" one night, and one of the women explained tattoos as such:
"each of my tattoos represents a significant time for me. they are the roadmap to my life."

my angel wings represent an amazing turning point in my life. on my roadmap, they represent the faith and strength that grow exponentially during a time of suffering and pain. they represent the constant possibility of change and evolution. they remind me that no matter what i'm going through, no matter how hard it is, if i find the strength within myself and keep my faith in god, i will get through it.

it's a nice reminder to carry on my back for the rest of my life.
