Publisher's Synopsis
I will take the reader on a journey through the stories behind each tattoo, uncovering the layers of my being and the transformative power that embracing one's true self can have. I will delve into the moments in my life that shaped these designs, the emotions they evoke, and the lessons they have taught me.
Through this exploration, I hope to inspire others to embark on their own journey of self-reflection and self-awareness. I want to encourage individuals to embrace their true selves, to celebrate their uniqueness, and to find empowerment in their own stories.
As I continue writing, I am filled with gratitude for the transformative power that my tattoos have had on my life. They have allowed me to embrace who I truly am, to navigate the complexities of my identity, and to find strength in the vulnerability of self-expression.
The tattoos on my body are not mere inked designs; they are a visual narrative of my existence in this world. Each tattoo carries a unique interaction with individuals who have shaped my life in profound ways. Through these tattoos, I invite the reader to join me on a journey, revisiting moments in time that have defined me.
As I browse over my life, I can't help but reflect on the bond I share with my eldest daughter. Our relationship is depicted as two females, seventeen years apart, supporting and uplifting each other with love and strength. We have endured countless struggles and learned valuable life lessons together. The love I have for my daughter is unlike any other, and I strive to be the change that wasn't displayed in my own upbringing.
Within the tapestry of my tattoos, I have chosen five lessons that hold significant meaning. One of these lessons is undoubtedly being taught to my eldest daughter. She is training to embody this lesson, and her presence in my life serves as a constant reminder of the power of love and growth.
As I journey through the concept of why I permanently inked my body, I stand for those who are set apart, those who make their own rules. I have always known that my tattoos would tell a story - my story. Each tattoo holds a piece of me, representing the best of me.
