Hey my name’s Jordan. I just got my feet done! These are my second & third tattoo! Love love love my anchor & my sailor girl! It fits my style so well! Classic Sailor Jerry americana with a girly edge! For me there’s def meaning in these tats! Firstly, I’m an island girl, so I’ve always been totally captivated by the ocean! Growing up in Charleston, South Carolina it’s no surprise! With The Citadel & numerous military bases around here, that military lifestyle is everywhere & this city is rich in history! I’ve dated military. I even considered enlisting awhile back. Secondly, I’ve always been strangely drawn to naval symbols, sayings, etc… Come to find out, my Papa was a sailor & my Great Grandfather was a naval commander. Both served in WWII! So it’s in the blood I guess! Thirdly, every time I look at my feet, all I can think is, “Sink or swim!” These tats inspire me to do my best, work hard, be myself, & set & sail my own course through life! Fourthly & finally, what with my fairy tale obsession, these sailor pieces also feed into my Peter Pan love! Considering eventually working in some Pan stuff on my bod as too! We’ll see! These tats were done by Tim Dennis at Blu Gorilla Tattoo! Super rad, great artist, will take your pics & ideas & collaborate with you as much as you need! Heads up though, I’ve a high pain tolerance & these tats flipping hurt! Everyone reacts differently, but I’m told the only thing worse is your ribs! Then again, next up for me is a chest piece & I’m sure my sternum & collarbone will be pretty painful! Luckily, I’m an adrenaline junkie & love it! :)
