Tattoos and Lace....

Okay, so no lace, but tattoos, yes.

the new addition..

Yesterday, my husband stated to me he wanted to take me to get the tattoo I've been wanting for a couple of months now. I will say, I saw a picture of something similar on Pinterest and like in cartoons, a light turned on over my head. I don't know why I never thought to get this done before...

You see, "Let It Be" is my favorite Beatles song. There are many reasons for this, but the song took on a whole new meaning when my great grandmother, Mama Mary passed away. It was her favorite song too. When I was growing up, she always said she wanted the song sung at her funeral. I missed her funeral. This thought still floats in my mind a lot. 

So, my idea was to get this tattoo. The words "let it be" on the inside of my left wrist. It is in honor of my Mama Mary. The reason I chose my left wrist is because at one point, I read there was an ancient belief that a vein ran from the ring finger to the heart. That is the reason it's tradition to wear a wedding band on the left ring finger. So, for similar reasons, I chose my left wrist, to remind me Mama Mary is always in my heart. Is that cheesy? Maybe. But it is deeply personal for me. 

I would also like to point out the font I chose is called "Jane Austen." And y'all all know how I feel about Jane Austen. 

I love this tattoo. It's so pretty. I was being all girlish in the tattoo place about it too. By the way, I went to Top Rocker. It was a very nice place and the artists were great. I get a free touch up too. How nice is that?!

It was my birthday present. So, happy birthday to me!
