Every BODY Has A Story - Amy Tyson
"When I was 14 I fell in love with tattoos, so I knew as soon as I turned 18 that I would get one. Over the years I’d been trying to think of what I wanted and what my first tattoo would be. For a while I thought I’d get wings on my back, then I thought of getting the Chinese symbol for dream on the back of my neck, and at one point I wanted this really awesome tribal sun. But the more I thought about them the more I found out they weren’t me. So, I headed out in search of something that represented who I am.
By the time I had turned 16 I still didn’t know what I wanted, but then one day while in one of my classes it came to me. Something that represented who I am, what I believe in, and what I love. The goddess symbol: a symbol of my faith, but to me it’s more than that. I’m pagan and proud, and I have been for about 6 years now. You can think what you like about me, but it’s who I am, and everything I believe in. Now that I have it, I can’t stop thinking about how much I love it. Every morning when I wake up and see it I smile. I can’t wait to get my next one."
(The tattoo was done at Permanent Ink in Halifax, NS, Canada by Ashley Cameron)

That is an amazing tattoo, I was looking at something like that for myself but I ended up deciding on a triquetra design, I applaude(SP?) you for getting that, I will, some day, get a pentagram somewhere on me, just because it's part of me.
Great Tattoo
