This is my second tattoo. And currently my favorite.

The heart may be weak. And sometimes it may even give in. But I’ve learned that deep down, “there is a light that never goes out.”
-Sora, Kingdom Hearts

This was sort of an impulse piece, but it’s not to say that it doesn’t have any meaning. I think this was one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite video games. Kingdom Hearts shows, time and time again, the battle between light and darkness.

This also seemed like the perfect break-up piece to me. A weak heart, a heart that’s giving in… it just seemed like such a good time for this to go on my body.

This is a photo of my tattoo before it was finished, but it is all colored in and healed now.  Sadly, I only have a webcam and the quality wouldn’t be that great for this page if I took a shot of the whole thing right now.  The clock in the tattoo represents my birth date, 4/23.  The idea of the clock being a heart is for me to remember to love myself before anyone else (hence the birth date).  The flowers were just an addition because I liked the idea and my artist did an amazing job with blending the colors.  Done by Jason Ante.

This is my Alice in Wonderland tattoo. It’s my favorite book and the cheshire cat happens to be my favorite character.

Before I posted this I was going to say “Two things I live and die by” and now that I noticed the NHL logo I will say these are three things I die by. But being serious now….I live by these every day of my life, as should everyone :).

Unlike many other octopuses, the blanket octopus does not use ink to intimidate potential predators. When threatened, the female unfurls her large net-like membranes that spread out and billow in the water, greatly increasing her apparent size.
