Every BODY Has A Story - Tomas Webb

"I had gotten other tattoos before this one, though still related to my faith, I didn't feel complete. I've loved lions in all forms for years now, and collect all sorts of documentaries and other stuff about them. When I found the verse in the bible,

"The wicked are edgy with guilt, ready to run off
even when no one's after them
Honest people are relaxed and confident,
bold as lions." (Proverbs 28:1)

It represented a feeling I had inside. By getting the tattoo done, it serves as a constant reminder of how I should approach life, as well as being based on an important principle I want to instil in my kids. It's also in a good position so that I can cover it if I need to, or just wear a singlet and "let it all hang out".

Karl from "Deuce Tattoos" in Rooty Hill, NSW Australia did it for me and I'm so happy with the work that I've booked in for another tattoo on the 13th December to celebrate my 25th birthday!"
