I've been Branded!

I was once told, never put anything on your body that is ever going to change, and make sure it is something you love. Like let's not put a frog on my arm and then hate frogs.

So I have 2 tattoos, my first....when I turned 24, my brother was killed 4 months prior, so for my 24th birthday I got a tattoo in his memory. A butterfly amist a crescent moon....his soul set free to fly, and it says In Loving Memory. And my love and memories for him have never changed. And I do not regret my decision for that tattoo.

My second, (and forgive the quality of pics....gotta love those cell phone images) And since it's still healing and looks a little less than appealing right now, we have yet to get updated pics.

So with no further delay...I give you....my 2nd branding....


Although you can't see all of the first part....these are the zodiac signs of what means the most to me in the world. All the way to the left and the largest....a Leo, for the hubs, 2nd is mine...a Virgo....third and a little smaller, Thomas', a Gemini and last but certainly not least, another Virgo for Christopher, all surrounded by a part of my heritage, Irish Shamrocks...because not only am I Irish, but I am the luckiest lass out there!!!

So not only will my family never stop being a family, but our zodiacs will never change and my love for my family will never falter! And I will not regret this decision either.

Cool I'm too much of an indecisive wuss to get a tat. But, I've always wanted one if for no other reason than to be able to say, "Hey, wanna see my tat?". I think that would make me sound cool:)

I don't have tattoos, but I love the stories behind them...they mean so much when they are personally meaningful.
