My very first tattoo which is on my upper left arm was done while I was in the military. I had just turned 19 and because of my very youthful looks wanted just another way to prove my age. I designed the tattoo myself however the tattoo artist executed it very poorly causing scarring and uneven color throughout the tattoo. It has since been covered up by an awesome portrait of Kirk Hammett by Matti Hixson of Cherry Bomb Tattoo in West Virginia. It is a work in progress.

My next tattoo will be a memorial piece to remember my grandmother who passed away in March of 2010 after her second battle with pancreatic cancer. It will be a racing scene between a pink '50s Thunderbird and a purple 2010 Corvette. The T-bird would have her birth year on the license plate and the 'Vette her death year. The purple represents pancreatic cancer and the pink represents breast cancer.
