Tattoos are like time capsules. Little reminders of a moment in time, written down in the skin for all to see, for years to come.  The one I chose is my own ink.  It sits on the inside of my right wrist, The Triple Goddess symbol outlined in shadow, with a crooked broom flying through it.  Life never works quite the way you want it, and I am one of those fortunate souls to have had a very trying and strenuous life.  The Triple Goddess is a representation of The Child, The Mother, and The Crone.  To me it means don’t take life too seriously, care for those around you, and be wise in your decisions. Something I wasn't always doing.  The broom is a symbol to me of cleanliness. Starting each day with a clean sweep.  Not letting past hurts ruin my future choices.  So when I see someone with a tattoo, I think that person got it for a reason.  Even if they were drunk that night at least they have that reminder to never get THAT drunk again.  Getting ink is a personal and very permanent decision and one that I believe carries a lesson in every artistic piece.
