My very first tattoo came shortly after I graduated high school. It was my parents present to me for graduating. I had had the design since I was 16. I made it my self one day. So my dad joined me and we went and got me my first tattoo.
Many months after getting it but that is it. Grace down a cross. The bible verse that is attached to it is Ephesians 2:8. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith —and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—"
My second tattoo came about 6 months after my first one. I had enjoyed the experience and I had money and an idea for another one. So my mom joined me and we went and got my second one.
Simple writing of one of the greatest hymns/songs to worship our king.
My third tattoo is a nickname I received from my friends I grew up with. I had many from my family but never one from my friends. And at the time and still currently to this day it is still something people call me and I use in my everyday life. My sister joined me this time.
Big B kinda speaks for it self. one of my favorite nicknames
My fourth tattoo came when a very close family member passed away, my grandma. She was a very cool lady and when I had back surgery she would look after me before I could go back to school. We would watch the price is right and then watch saved by the bell before my teacher would come and teach me. After class we had to do some kinda of activity for my back so we would walk. We walked and looked for pennies. I will always cherish that time. So in honor of my grandmother I tattooed her name above my surgery scar. Kristen joined me on this one and helped me through the pain.
For grandma. This one probably hurt the most because of how close the needle came to the scar.
My fifth and sixth tattoos came shortly after I lost my beloved piglet. I had received piglet from my mother the night before I had surgery and he went everywhere with me. Yes, at this point I was 20 years old and probably to old for a stuffed animal but he just would travel with me. I lost him going to New York City for the first time. He was left on a plane. So a bible verse that would help me get through the loss of this beloved stuffed animal is "Be still and know that I am god" Psalms 46:10. Kristen joined me on one maybe both, I can't remember, and that is so unlike me.
So that is what I got tattooed on my self. Yes, if you try to read it it is backward but when I look at my arms it reads correct.
My seventh tattoo was a very quick decision tattoo. Never have I decided to get one and had one so quickly. But it is funny cause I think I almost enjoy it the most. Kristen joined me on this one and shorts the same LOVE on her wrist.
I share this tattoo with a very close friend of mine and every time I look at it I get to go back to when we first received them.
So that is my tattoo for right now. I have an idea for 3 more and I believe that will keep me happy until I have children. Then they will have spots on my body. Thanks for reading
