Sharing My Ink


The placement



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).

This is SO cool. I'm such a chicken. However, if Keith wants to design one to cover either of my scars,and you'd come down to hold my hand (and have a drink afterward!) I just might be game!

We love and miss you guys. How bout Orlando instead of Mexico this year. I know this great place...and you don't even have to tip the maid.

Love,
Heather
