Newest Tattoo!!


Stars
(2) Nautical stars – stands for guidance and hope
(2) Black stars and (2) white stars – stands for reaching for the stars and how there are all different kinds of stars to reach.

Shield
“A protective device used to intercept attacks.” I will always be able to fend off attacks of any sort.

Claddagh ring
“With my two hands I give you my heart and crown it with my love.” A symbol that represents love, friendship, and loyalty.

“Let it be…”
A quote I like because I tend to focus on things that are pointless or moot so I need to just let it be.

“…Carpe Diem”
I need to learn to enjoy the moment. It is not just about seizing the moment, but also thoroughly enjoying the moment and immersing your self into it.

Dove
- The Bible, after the worldwide flood, a dove returned to Noah with an olive leaf. This was God’s symbol that there would never be such a flood again.
– In Chinese culture, it symbolizes longevity and peace in the next life (or stage of life)
– In legend, it was the only bird that demons and witches could not morph into.

Sweet Pea
“Thank you for a lovely time.” This is so I remember all of the goals I have accomplished and not just focus on the goals I have yet to accomplish.

Wow cool! This makes me want to get a Tattoo! Maybe I'll design myself a small one, I'd definitely want to put thought into it like you did though. I think a tattoo'd be worthless without the symbolism and self messages.

You look sleepy though, must have just got that today.

Also, I don't see the sweet pea, and its hard to make out the words but I think they're on the shield. I still think the tattoos are pretty cool, I like the dove especially.
