Ever since I was a little girl I have always has a fascination with stingrays. I’ve loved them for being such understood, yet beautiful beings that hide in the ocean floor but are not afraid to defend themselves. I’ve always related to that in a way. I love the way it turned out. My tattoo was done by Christina Sparrow (She is not only amazingly talented, but she’s hilarious and gorgeous!) of Gaslight Gallery in Montrose. (Houston, TX)
My second tattoo, done at Club Tattoo in Tempe, AZ by Rick. He was awesome, and did a beautiful job. I got this piece because I am not a damsel in distress- and I can save myself.
My Om in the middle of a lotus mandala, representing the mantra, Om mani padme hum or the mantra of Avalokitesvara, a Bodhisattva. I’m Buddhist.
