Every BODY Has A Story - "Wearing My Heart on My Sleave"
The story of my favorite tattoo is pretty simple. After a three year failed marriage… well, let me tell you WHY it failed. Being married to THE EX had me dealing with extreme physical abuse, death threats, broken ribs, split lip, sleeping to be woken to having the entire bed flipped over with me on it, drug into ice cold showers, his stalking after I left, and in the end being forced to move well over 1,300 miles to get away from THE EX, I decided to get this, because I will always, no matter how hard I am pushed around or stepped on... I will always wear my heart on my sleeve.
To be blunt, I don't care if wearing my heart on my sleeve targets me as a living carpet because it is who I am, it's what makes me “special,” and not in that short bus sorta way. I may be tough, strong, empowered, but, I refuse to grow hard, and I will always, at least underneath it all, be soft inside. Ok, I'll stop all this corny talk. It's too sappy, even for me.
My heart tattoo was done by Chris at Peter Tat2 in Fort Myers, Florida.

That is amazing! I hope this story will help others in your situation. I was in a similar scenario and when I finally left I got a huge tree tattooed on my back to symbolize strength and growth. It was tattooed right over his name (I know,I know I was stupid). All the power to you sister :)
