In celebration of my one year from the date I found I had cancer, February 5th, I had some permanent artwork done. :)
There it is, folks! I'm now a tattooed lady!
So now that I have it, I better get myself prepared to answer questions about it. I already know I'm going to start with: "Do you want the long answer or short answer?"
Short answer: The elephant became my mantra in a time of need because of its symbolism of strength, serenity, and wisdom. The pink represents my battle with breast cancer, during which I found that obstacles can be overcome with Acceptance, Gratitude and Healing. I wanted it placed in a spot where I could look at it everyday and remember the lessons I learned.
Long answer: Well...there's this blog. Start reading... :)
Love it. Glad you got it and that's a wonderful short answer!
ReplyDeleteThe first question everyone asks is "Did it hurt?" -_-
ReplyDeleteI love it! What matters is the meaning it has for you. When I got mine there was a sign that said "For those who understand no explanation is necessary, for those who do not understand no explanation will suffice."
Rock that pink elephant!
