Memorial Tattoo



It's been awhile. I was going through some of my past entries when I came to my previous memorial tattoo post and remembered that I never posted my completed tattoos! Sorry!


I originally got them in August, but then had them filled in a bit more in October. They were done in white ink. Disregard the translucent skin and blue veins! What can I say, I'm as white as you get! Anyway, I love them and am surprised by how much people actually see them. I never wanted a super showy tattoo. I love them on other people, but it's just not me. I wanted something understated and there was always something about how the white ink fades and leaves more of a scarred appearance. As if people can outwardly see the scar my girls left on my soul.


Anyway, here they are. Jorai's on my left because I remember holding her in my arms with her head resting on my left arm, and for some reason, I rested Selah's head on my right arm. I still close my eyes and dream of holding them, looking down at my two arms...left for Jorai and right for Selah. So it's fitting...
