I got my moons originally done in November 2012.  I just went back to get it touched up on May 4th 2013 and I love it even more than before.  So happy with how beautiful it has turned out :)

Back of my thighs. My first pieces (6 and a half hours each! - did my left leg in one shot). Done in February & April 2013 by the amazing Mason Larose, in Saskatoon, SK, Canada. I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety for a few years now. It has eaten me from the inside out, and taken over my life. But, I know that it doesn’t have to. Its all up to me to change how things are going for myself. I can let it keep me down, or I can get back up. This, is a reminder of that. And, a reminder that this IS a fight that I can and will win.“The waters may be rough but I refuse to sink”
