It is my tattoo.
It was drawn into the skin above my heart because it represents my heart.
My family.
My husband and children, and myself.
The people I love.
It is a permanent reminder to never take them for granted.
M is for Mark, my husband, my partner, the love of my life.
J is for Jennifer. That is me.
C is for Camryn, my only daughter, beautiful and sweet.
A is for Alexander, my only son, tough and funny.
The beauty of a "flower" in the shape of a heart with intertwined stem and letter "leaves".
The perfect representation of what I hold dear, of what defines me most.
I am a wife, a mom and me. Nothing fancy. Nothing that will make me rich or famous or powerful.
My tattoo reminds me of what I cherish. It reminds me that I am enough.
"When the designs are chosen with care, tattoos have a power and magic all their own. They decorate the body but they also enhance the soul."

That is a really pretty tattoo. I am not big on that sort of pain and so far I have never seen anything that I want to be permanently inked onto my body . . . one day perhaps but not yet.

ReplyDeleteI see you have a Tattoo Freak Flag also, I love the idea of the letter leaves, I'd be scared to go so far out on my chest, it'd be a little hard to keep covered.

ReplyDeleteThat is so very sweet! And such a thoughtful design!
