Sharing My Ink

Getting Started



In Black



Full Color


This is an original design by my sweet husband. I've always wanted him to draw a piece for me. To incorporate it with my favorite Bible verse meant so much. Notice the scripture in the middle of the cross, Proverbs 3:5-6. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will direct your paths." Thank you, sweetie, I will treasure this forever!

I went with a couple of girlfriends from my Bible Study group in March of 2006 to have this done. It was so much fun having these Christian women in a tattoo shop getting inked. There's a lot of symbolism in this piece, a lot more than my first one, which I got back in college. Notice the 3 points below the cross for The Trinity. The outer points are also a J and a C for Jesus Christ. The heart is for God's love which is the foundation for the cross and His giving His life for us to give His life to us to live His life through us. The vines on either side of the cross are a reminder that He is the vine and we are the branches (John 15:5).

Because Nice Matters

Thanks Sally for thinking of me. It had been a particularly rough week and your timing was impeccable. Like Heather I think all my blogging friends have received it already, so I'll say a big, "THANK YOU!" and use this time to praise my mom. I've been trying to teach the kids, "because nice matters" all summer, especially after spending so much time with my mom and all the crazy antics that go on at a city hall. She is a true testament to this, because no matter what is flung at her, she is always nice. And believe me, a lot gets flung at her!
