My 1st Tattoo…
On my 18th birthday – 3.10.2009- i got my first ever tattoo for my Great Nana Florence. She always loved her roses and it was in memory of her, even though shes still alive, we were really close before she developed dementia and had to go into a care home up north near her son. I miss her soo badly, and so with this tattoo shes always looking out for me and got my back, the rose represents her and the signature is hers oh what she used to write on my xmas cards… i wanted it to be really personal so thats what made it special. I knew i was going to have this tattoo long before she got ill. I had a dream and the only thing i remember if this rose..but the rest is a blurr..and i’ve wanted it for 5-6 years..and now i eventually got it.
Me in Ray Hunts studio getting my first ever tattoo done…man i was so nervous
