I got this tattoo on September 16th of 2011. It was done at Tophat Tattoo in Chicago, IL by DJ Auld, who is an amazing guy and a phenominal artist.
These lyrics are from Details in the Fabric by Jason Mraz. I decided to get these tattooed on me because to me, the lyrics are about being independent and knowing who you are as a person and not letting go of that, not letting anyone or anything change who you are. This is my third and favorite tattoo so far!
I was born in the month of May when the cherry blossoms start to bloom. Part of my Vietnamese name “Xuan” also means springtime. I wanted a different, more realistic take on the cherry blossoms rather than the traditional ones. This motherfucker hurt like a bitch, especially being on the ribs. This amazing rib panel piece was done at Electro Lady Lux in Vancouver, BC by Hilary Dawson.
