What inspired your most recent tattoo?

Our wedding anniversary inspired my blue Moon tattoo. We have been married 20 years this past March 24th, 2025. We got the tattoos in celebration of all the good and bad times we have been through. We are teenage sweethearts. We’ve lost track of each other after high school but got back together and married in 2005. My moon also represents myself in the marriage and our daughter is our Star. I was told all my life that I could never have children. And Bam! She was a miracle!

I would love to tell you id just get tattoos but I’m a mom first and I’d pay towards her college. Love her too much to blow
