After five years, a vine side piece, a Mucha sleeve, a back piece of two egrets and the front torso, of mandalas, and lotus flowers, we are trying to tie it all together with some cherry blossom branches, and petals falling throughout. Below the blossoms there is a koi on her left forearm and will be another one on her right thigh. A tribute to her grandmother, being a mother of three herself, she understands all too well the stress and strain of caring for people that you wish the best for, but cannot make decisions for. The toughest thing about being a parent is letting go of someone and letting them learn the lessons on their own.
