My favourite tattoo.
Actually went in to see my artist Ian McAlister at Red Hot and Blue in Edinburgh to book in getting my sleeve finished when all of a sudden he asked if I like guns and hearts and free tattoo’s, as my answer was yes, he tried out this new style he was working on. I love it.
I got this tattoo done by Leah @ Electric Images Hortonville WI. I wanted a Phoenix as I felt it was a personal symbol for me. I had almost died 18 months before that & at that time decided to start over & remake myself from the ashes. I got healthy & lost 50 pounds. I continue to grow & feel reborn!
This is a healed photo of the lilies I had tattooed on a beautiful walk in client in my old shop in Ohio. It is located on the side of her upper thigh.
This is my latest tattoo - a polar lotus on my right calf. The Lotus is highly symbolic in Buddhism and stands for purity of spirit, wisdom and the ability of the mind to conquer all. It’s deeply meaningful in my spiritual journey and is a constant reminder for me to rise above the pain of my past and personal failings. It is of even greater significance as my brother (a true friend and loyal companion) has a matching lotus tattoo. It was done by Sou, at Lust for Life Tattoo in Brisbane, Australia.
