May I never be perfect

It was my roommate's 20th birthday yesterday so for her birthday she decided to get her first tattoo. Seeing as I just got my first a few months ago, it was really cool to be able to go as moral support. Going with her really made me want to get another one...but I know my dad would KILL me if I did.

She tattooed "May I never be perfect" on her radius as pictured. I think that everyone has a little bit of perfectionist in them and sometimes it can be very hard to accept that not everything can go the way that you want. I really love the fact that she had it written in her own handwriting and not in a cookie-cutter font. What could be more perfectly imperfect than doing it in your own handwriting?

Happy 20th birthday Sophie! I'm so glad that I got to be there with you! 

My Tattoo

I got this tattoo about two months ago. My parents were never too keen on tattoos and neither was I to be honest; I couldn't see myself  wanting something enough to get it permanently marked on my body. But when my mom's cancer came back in 2011, I began to consider getting one. My parents said no at first, but when my mom told me that she was terminal last summer, she gave me her blessing. This tattoo serves as a reminder to me that despite her passing, my mom is with me everyday.
