Total Tattoo Meaning for my Left Sleeve with my 4th, 6th and 7th Tattoo: My past that I tried to keep hidden is crawling to make its way to the surface. So instead of strugglin to keep it concealed, I’m cleaning out my closet/burning it and from the ashes forms a Phenoix which rises and allows myself to be reborn, and climb to see things from a new perspective.

6th Tattoo (5/30/2012) Location: Left outside forearm Artist: John Butler Meaning to me: This is of the Skeletons in my closet. My secret source of “shame” that I’ve been trying to keep concealed scratching its way to the surface. (continues to 7th tattoo)

7th Tattoo (5/30/2012) Location: Left outside forearm/Upwards towards 4th Tattoo Artist: John Butler Meaning to me: “The Phoenix has long been presented as a symbol of rebirth, immortality, and renewal.”

This tattoo is of a Pheonix. The tail is wrapping around my 6th tattoo…Which stands for me burning it/”cleaning out my closet.” So with it burning, the ashes forms into the Pheonix which stands for me being “reborn.”

Natalie Grant - “The Real Me” (by sarahheartsmusic)

I remember hearing this song some years back and thinking wow I’m grateful even for the times I messed up. We would like to think that we have it all together. It takes some messing up to see that you could use some help with life and living in general. This is a Christian song that pretty much expresses what grace is all about. Its not about deserving it, that fact that you don’t deserve it is what makes it what it is. If that makes any sense. Imagine someone loving you even during your worst moments. That’s when you know its legit. You have no control over other people accepting you, and when they welcome you when you don’t “deserve” it … (no words)

I wonder if people think love is something you earn? I always thought it was just a way of life. The thing is though that you have to accept the love you want, the same way you want your love to be accepted.

You have to forgive yourself and start with yourself first. Also remember to say thank you.

These stories really made me think..
