"Neveah" under my left collar bone, I am very family orientated, but as a child growing up I was considered a "mistake" to my family, but when I went to my great grandparents house, I felt safe, as If it were a sanctuary, I remember walking in the front gate, next to the mail box was a little plaque that was also very old that had "Neveah" burnt into it. words can't describe what there back yard was like, but I'll try you walked uo the drive way to to a garage that was always open and in it was a very very old green Holden 50-2106 utility that they had bought in 1953, it still looked so perfect, then after you walked past that there was a tree that had leaves extending out to cover most of the back yeard, it was huge! then you could walk over a little bridge, to the right was an avairy, and a veggie patch on the left, then yyou would come to a hedge, that was more then eight foot tall, and in it was an arch way with a swing they had made from a very old ladder, and in behind the hedge was a mulberry tree, now as I got older, things started to wither, and the archway eventually closed over the swing, the birds were set free, and nan and pa shortly died, now I remember when ever I was frightend when I was little I would imagine that very garden, and instantly I felt safe. when pa passed awayI was in another state, but nans funeral was the first I went to, and seeing her in her open casket, with light shining down on to the veil that was laid over her, I emtionally broke, And so I booked into ink attack, and told them what I wanted, now with that word, "neveah" permanently on me, I can always feel safe and I will never forget them, nor my sanctuary.

My next tatto will be on my right thigh, it will be a serpent that looks quite angry with three baby birds in its coils, to represent my mother protecting me and brother and sister. now the reason I have my mother represented as a snake it due to my childhood.
