a good friend of mine, rachel venard, has a number of tattoos that i really like and that i really admire the stories behind, therefore, i asked her to write me a blog post explaining her tattoos. this is what she had to say:
I had always admired tattooed women when I was younger, so I knew that I would at least get a few of my own. When I was fourteen I took Indian ink and a needle to my hand creating a horrible looking heart on my left hand. When I was eighteen I decided that it was time to get more with meaning and the shitty heart covered up. I had the word "Love" inked on my left wrist and "Hate" on my right. After the first three an addiction started that led to "Daj mi Buzi" on my ankle catering to my Polish heritage. After time spent homeless "Beware Doll You're Bound to Fall" was placed upon my back. The lyrics from the Bob Dylan song became the most important tattoo I had gotten so far. A Buddha that was never finished was just above the Dylan lyrics so that became the next venture to finish. I ran into a tattoo artist who was willing to finish up my Buddha if I would allow him to add his to his portfolio. I couldn't miss the opportunity so I let him finish it up. I wouldn't be the same without all of my tattoos, I wouldn't have the opportunity to share my stories and reasons for getting them. The thrill of getting a new tattoo will hopefully always remain with me.
