Description of the tattoo/design
Life~love~loyality
The Background Story
Found this tattoo design 6 years ago, and held on to it until I was sure it was for me, and also to decide the best place to have locate it.
I eventually got it last week, accompanied by my gorgeous hubby of nine years. The meaning is very important to me, and I'm so chuffed with the results. :-D
Why The Tattoo is So Special
Its special because my gorgeous husband of nine years, and childhood sweetheart accompanied me when I got it and it means life, love, and loyalty, so it represents him and our fantastic life together. x
Its on by left hip and the top third can be seen if I'm wearing low-cut jeans, however its easily hidden if I want. I put it here as I don't like getting a tattoo where everyone else has one. I wanted it to be different, special and unique to me
Advice
- Research the design extensively
- Don't rush in
- Spend time thinking about where to locate the tattoo- my friend got the barbed wire years ago- when it was all the rage, and dislikes it now when she wears dresses etc. She had to wear a shawl on her wedding day, so think to the future as well as the now.
- Choose a hygenic and experienced artist
- Enjoy and be proud of your tattoo and what it represents
