Every BODY Has A Story - "The Ties that Bind"

“On my mother’s 60th birthday, she had an unusual request. She asked my sister and me if we would like to get tattooed with her. We were Very surprised, but happy to do this together. We choose a Celtic symbol- the top part of the symbol from the triangle up means family. My sister, my mother and I chose our own pieces for the bottom of the symbol that we felt reflected our individual personalities. My part of the symbol represents ‘Healer’ because I am a doctor. My mother got her tattoo over her breast, and my sister got hers on the back of her neck.”
