I got my first tattoo yesterday.
It's highly symbolic for me.
Caterpillars enclose themselves in a chrysalis and turn completely to goo before they can emerge as beautiful butterflies.
I've had more than my fair share of "goo" phases in my life. The most recent one has been especially long and rough. But I'm coming out of it okay, or better. As I always do 🙂
The two lilies represent my daughters. See the second image for an explanation as to why I chose stargazer lilies.
Edited to add: it's my drawing, but the artist did an amazing job creating the stencil and bringing it to life.
