My first tattoo, done by Craig Grainger at Mata Mata Studios in Hamilton, ON. (Although he just moved to the UK!) This is them almost fully healed.
It took me five years to finally get my feet done, mostly because of how indecisive I was. As it was my first tattoo, and I didn’t know if I would have ever got another one I combined everything I couldn’t live without into one tattoo. The first being art which I have dedicated my life to creating and the rest being my mother, my brother, and my bestfriend.. who are all represented by a flower in their favourite colour and whose meaning relates to them as a person!
The entire tattoo process has completely inspired me and I am very happy to have had such a good experience with it. I definitely want more now! :)
Hey, that’s me! :)
Not going to mention the fact that that’s an Andy Warhol quote? Guess not..

I ALWAYS FORGET I EVEN HAVE A TUMBLR.
Today my mind has been on a constant repeat of everything that has happened this year.. the bad, the great, the god awful, and the incredible.
-This year, I took a vacation to San Fransico completely on my own money without Mommy there to help tell me where to go. Colby and I conquered a foreign city and made it our bitch. I fell in love with this city and can’t wait for the day that I get to return.
-This year, we “celebrated”(?) the one year anniversary of one of my best friends dying. And it sucked. HARD. Such a constant reminder that we really aren’t promised to see the sunrise..
-This year, I turned 23. And had one of the best birthdays ever. I got to spend it with absolutely incredible people and have never felt so loved in my life. Being serenated by a million people at midnight, 9 gallons of sweet tea, screen printed posters, gabby’s, Science Center, dinner at F.Scott’s, lazer tag, Pita Pit, and Sweet CiCi’s with some of the most incredible people.
-This year, I fell in love.. and made the steep climb out of it.
-This year, I went to the Bahamas on a big ass boat. Was terrified, miserable at times, and completely in awe of how amazing it is down there. I hiked around one side of the islands, biked around the other side, relaxed in a tiny intertube in the middle of the ocean, got so sunburt I blistered, ate my weight in food, and also rode a tiny scooter around the bottom of the ocean floor. Needless to say, my mom is super kick-ass.
-This year, I took a gun carrier permit class with my mother. I can now “pack heat” - and that is horrifying and awesome.
-This year, I went to school for the first time in almost 4 years. Did awesome at first, but now I’m really questioning my purpose there. Seeing as I’m kicked out AGAIN for bad grades.
-This year, I moved into my dead grandmother’s old house that my mother grew up in. I am no longer allowed to ignore her death and the fact that I will never see her again. I have been forced to deal with the most painful thing that has ever happened.. with that, cheers.
-This year, I watched 2 of my best friends get married. One of which I was very excited to be a part of. I realized I’m finally at the age where this shit happens. THAT IS SCARY.
-This year, I made some pretty incredible friends. Ones that I never imagined I would be lucky enough to call mine. Sometimes I think we really take the people in our life for granted and I hope we can all step back and see how lucky we really are.
-This year, I have done a lot of cool shit. I am a very lucky girl.
Constantly stuggling but always with the goal to overcome.
