Myself, in a sentence
I'm an outgoing, charismatic girl with an insatiable love for all things dark and different who came from a small town and made her way to the city.
My favorite tattoo and the story behind it
My favorite tattoo would have to be my "zombie princess" on my right forearm. It is an interpretation of myself when I was younger and used to partake in pageants. But, whenever I got my first tattoo people told me I would never win another title or crown because tattoos were frowned upon. My only tattoo at the time was hidden throughout the pageants, but just knowig it was there seemed to lessen my chances at certain events. So, I decided to basically give them a big eff you and got this zombie beauty as my first visible tattoo. It symbolizes all the different kinds of beauty out there and of how proud I am to be different and not fit into anyone's particular mold of woman.
My first tattoo and the story behind it
My first tattoo was an assortment of hollowed and nautical stars on the right side of my ribs. My mother used to call me her little shining star and that I could do anything I put my mind to and succeed. I got the tattoo to not only serve as a reminder of how supportive my mom has been throughout the years, but as a reminder that I can overcome anything and come out on top in life.
My next tattoo
I'm going to be starting my Halloween inspired sleeve on my arm, which will incorporate all the traditional creatures of the night, but keep a twist of femininity and lots of color!
