“Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made, or by dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.”

My new little piece of ink… my sister Katie and I got matching ink on her 18th birthday on the 5th July and it’s meaning is so special to us. The middle flower, a white lily, is a flower our grandmother used to love from her gorgeous over-flowing garden in the property where my mother grew up. Although Katie and I never got to meet our grandmother Joanna, we feel a deep connection to her and now have a physical reminder of this on our arms. The forget-me-nots are our dear mum’s favourite flowers, the most precious woman in the world to us. The gum leaves remind me of the natural beauty of home, of finding the charm and delicacy in the simple things. My mum also creates artworks using little gum-nuts. This tattoo will always be a reminder on our skin of the connection between the beautiful women in our family.
