This is my tattoo of Cyndi Lauper, done by Cara Cable at Black Cat Tattoos in Pittsburgh. Cyndi is just the first step of a women’s empowerment piece I’m getting to cover my right thigh. Next up: Roseanne.

I got this done by Liam Queeney at White Crane Tattoos in Cincinnati Ohio. These were my first tattoos and I designed them myself. Inspired by Avatar.

My artist was Aaron Cutts whom I have known for years through a mutual friend, but never met face to face until I had this done yesterday (2/21/12). He has his own in-home, LEGIT shop, Heathen Ink, located in Farmer’s Branch, TX. I’ve been planning this tattoo since last May. The pentagram belongs to the band Oh, Sleeper but I couldn’t just get it tatted on me like so many of their fans (no disrespect). I wanted mine to be different and have multiple meanings. I chose to have an arrow with a steel head to make reference to “We Are the Archers” and “The Marriage of Steel and Skin”. This band has helped me with retaining my faith and giving me courage. Aaron did an amazing job and I would be delighted to have him as my default artist to go to.

This piece is one of Picasso’s Dove series. It is on my inner left forearm. I got it as a symbol of peace and freedom, to mark my two year sobriety anniversary. Done by Miss Clare Jordan in Connecticut.

I got this anchor because it represents BEATING THE ODDS. I suffer from OCD, Anxiety, Panic disorder, and Depression but I will never let it get the best of me. I have seen the horrible things it can do to people and make people do to themselves and this is my reminder that it doesn’t have to be that way. I am the frail balloon holding up the unthinkable weight of this anchor and it will NEVER win. Thank you Corinne Bardrof for your wonderful talent and helping me get my thought onto paper and onto my skin!
