Done by Justin C. at Horns and Halos in Sherman Oaks, CA. This is my white ink tattoo, and I’m absolutely in love with it. Lyrics from “Blackbird” by the Beatles (Take these broken wings and learn to fly.) This was an 18th birthday present to myself, and the lyrics mean so much to me. When faced with obstacles, I try to rise gracefully and learn from them. I had this done 2 days after I didn’t get into my first choice college, and realized that my life’s gonna be okay just because it’s not going the way I originally planned. I’ll still be moving out this year for college, a.k.a. leaving the nest, and will have to learn to be more independent without my mom.
