All of my tattoos & explanations.
1. Portrait of Athena: I’m Greek and proud if it. Athena represents everything in a woman that I want to be. I don’t want to be a skinny, pretty, soccer mom. I want to be a strong, intelligent, wise fighter. She has always been a perfect role model.
2. Sheet music to Let It Be: I grew up listening to the Beatles. It all started with my Granny Ruth when I was about three. Her favorite song was Let It Be, which is one of my favorites as well. When she died in 1999, I became obsessed with the Beatles.
3. Diamond: It’s a representation of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds. I couldn’t exactly get that tattooed because it’s rumored that it stands for LSD, which isn’t true. It was written about a girl that John Lennon’s son had a crush on when he was young.
4. All You Need Is Love: That is my favorite Beatles song, personally. It keeps me optimistic and reminds me to appreciate the little things in life.
5. Imagine: This tattoo reminds me to keep an open mind and take value in the world’s possibilities. The song, itself, reminds me to be humble.
6. I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends: This tattoo is a mock of the Abbey Road album cover with two of the Beatles replaced with women who are meant to be myself and my oldest friend, Kacey. Honestly, I thought up this tattoo when I was drunk then got it the next day. I love the particular song, and it’s kinda like Kacey and my own drinking song. It keeps our memories alive to me.
My fatty rant
My self image has been challenged so many times with how style and fashion have progressed. I am a chubby girl. I’ve always been a chubby girl. I HOPE to always be a chubby girl. Growing up, I was teased all the time, by kids at school and even by my siblings, who both are twigs. As I got older, and taller, I did thin out a little, but I’ve had the figure of a grown woman since I was 14, boobs, ass, and all. I used to think I was too fat and I would be harder on myself. I mean, I was 15 and dieting because I thought I’d be more attractive if I lost 20 lbs. That’s no way to live. My late middle school/early high school years were spent in front of a mirror hating myself. However…as time went on, I developed a style of my own that fit to my body shape and accentuated my figure. Then, I would start seeing big women on television being fawned over just as much as thin women. I started to love my curves. Then, recently, I came across thetummyproject.tumblr.com which completely changed my view on my body. I love my body. I love my curves. I wear a 16 in jeans, and I not afraid to admit it.
