This is my 5th tattoo and is the most important to me. The purple ribbon represents pancreatic which my mom was recently diagnosed with. The roman numerals represent the date she was diagnosed (10.14.2011). The birds represent hope. In honor of my mother I got this for her..to symbolize the struggles she will go through but that her strength will overcome it all.  I got this tattoo done by Daniel Bisol (Dee) from Sinister Ink 2 in San Diego, CA. This is my second time going to him and he is the best artist I’ve worked with.

Done at Black Rose Tattooers in Tucson, AZ This is my 2nd tattoo. “Swim” is in reference of the song on the 2nd CD by Jack’s Mannequin. The dot of the I is an asterisk=unofficial symbol of Jack’s Mannequin. It is blue in reference of “Dark Blue” on the first CD, and I got the tattoo the day the third CD came out. It’s in Andrew McMahon’s handwriting.Yes, I am a huge Jack’s Mannequin+Andrew McMahon fan, but this tattoo means so much more to me than that. “Swim” talks about being able to push forward through life, even during the toughest times. Andrew McMahon has always be an amazing inspiration, being a cancer survivor. He was diagnosed with leukemia  when he was only 22…but one thing that kept him strong was his love for music=music is a huge part of my life and what keeps me going. Music is always there.Dark Blue is the first song I heard from Jack’s Mannequin my freshman year of high school. I’ve realized JM has been the one consistent thing in my life the last 6 years. I have changed completely since I first started listening to Jack’s Mannequin, but there’s always a song that is relatable to any situation. The lyrics are unbelievable. I swim to brighter daysDespite the absence of sunChoking on salt waterI’m not giving inI swim

I swim to brighter days
Despite the absence of sun
Choking on salt water
I’m not giving in
I swim

Tattoo by Kurt, from Lola&#8217;s Tattoos in Bogota, NJ Original painting by N.C Winters N.C Winters does a lot of paintings of beautiful girls with headphones on, and it spoke to me in that just having a set of headphones can get you through so much just by shutting the world off for a little while. The woman in this painting goes by Apnea (or Amanda Pemberton) and I have always found her to be very beautiful. I did show her the tattoo and she liked it a lot. Kurt did an amazing job, when I am a little richer I hope to go back to him for more ink :)

A friend of mine is getting her left arm of stuff that she liked as a little girl. Today I did my favorite so far. Is a character from the snorks. She changed the colors so she wouldn&#8217;t have too much pink and purple altogether. We also used a 3d version of the character as a reference. Next, she&#8217;s getting a Rosey the robot maid, from the Jetsons. Hope that, everyone likes it :).
