Many people view tattoos at "unprofessional" and "degrading." You can even be denied a job for having a visible tattoo or told that you have to keep it covered EVERY TIME you're in the office. The common question that comes along with a tattoo is,

" Will it still look good when you're 80 and wrinkly?"

I'm sorry will YOU still look good when you're "80 and wrinkly?"

Me being a very artistic person, I see tattoos as a piece of art and a way of expressing yourself. Whether it's a Mickey Mouse tattoo cause you like disney or an angel for a death of someone close to you. About a year ago, I had the urge that I really wanted a tattoo, but I wanted it to mean something to me and I wanted it to be original. Something that no one else has so I decided to design it myself and here's the meaning behind my tattoo.

1. Sun and Moon

The sun represents strength and power where the moon represents energy. Thus, putting the two together shows balance.

2. Lotus Flower

The infamous lotus flower represents many things but the main reason I wanted it apart of my tattoo is because it represents the purity of the mind, body, and soul.

3. Libra

Obviously, I added the Libra symbol because I am a Libra. Zodiac signs are very popular and a Libra symbol relates to the sun and moon by showing balance. As well as showing justice and harmony. Libra's are also natural peacekeepers.

4. Arrow

The arrow is as simple as can be. It reminds me to just keep moving forward.
