This is my tattoo, taken just after it was finished. This is my first and only tattoo so far, I got it on my 18th birthday. The idea for this tattoo just came to me one day and it really stuck with me. The storm symbolizes the tough things I’ve had to go through in my life but the umbrella, the sun, and the words “awake and unafraid” represent my ability to get through those rough times. When I was 15 I was hospitalized for depression and self-harm for about a month. Since then I’ve been up and down but I’ve made it and I’m just so proud of myself for that. The words come from one of my favorite songs by my favorite band; Famous Last Words by My Chemical Romance. That songs hold so much meaning for me, especially this line and ‘I am not afraid to keep on living’. This tattoo means so much to me and I absolutely adore it. It was done by Autumn Burns at Tymeless Tattoo in Baldwinsville, New York. I couldn’t be happier with it.
