Kata is stillness and movement, form that fills emptiness, piercing sound and silence, strength and gentleness. Kata is moving zen. No classical dance was ever more beautiful than perfect kata.

My first tattoo - dedicated to karate, one of the most important things in my life😊 The story behind it is - the infinity symbol symbolises "forever" and the anchor to me shows strength and one of my favourite quotes starts with the line "I refuse to sink" - so I included karate on the infinity symbol because my love for karate will last forever and it was my anchor - it stopped me from sinking and kept me alive in my darkest moments through my battle with depression - I included the black belt as the base of the anchor because my dream is to achieve my black belt this year and whenever I feel like giving up, it will remind me that I haven't achieved my black belt yet so I must keep fighting💕
