These are my white ink tattoos, done by the awesome and hilarious Nino Brown at Black Rose Tattooers in Tucson, Az. He has worked on me for years and I adore his work.

The two tattoos were done at the same time but do not go together. The first is an Italian word “coraggio" which means courage. It is a special thing my little brother and I share and I wanted to make it a permanent part of me.

The other is just a fun piece. I love yoga and the theories behind it and the om is just such a lovely sound and has great meaning (one harmonious sound that brings the earth and universe into alignment).

My Wren.

The wren reminds us it is not the material items we gain, but the quality of relationships made along the way that enrich our lives. We can also interpret the wren’s flighty ways as a message to branch out, expand our circle of contacts, and step out of our habitual rounds in life. The wren is content to flit from place to place with shallow roots.

I used to see a lot of wrens in the backyard of the house that I grew up in. The wren has caught my attention since, and always reminds me of my childhood. I struggle a lot with nostalgia, and I feel that there have been times of my life where I have been held back because of my longing for the past. I designed this tattoo during a rough time of my life when I needed to accept change.

This tattoo reminds me of my childhood and encourages me to accept change. So remember the past, but don’t let it keep you from moving forward.

This is a tattoo that I designed (I am an artist).
Daniel at Aces, Denton TX tattooed it on my right arm.

Traditional Clipper Ship Hand Tattoo

My Calvin & Hobbes tattoo based off of this comic . My artist was Noah Baxter based in Sherman Oaks, CA. He took some of the images from Spaceman Spiff as well and made it even more awesome than I could have imagined.
