I have always loved tattoos, and I love hearing the stories behind them.

I got my first tattoo 5 1/2 years ago, at the age of 17. My mom and I both got our black belts and we went in to get our first tattoos together that same day. I want every tattoo I get to mean that much. In the first 6 months of 2014 I have experienced 6 major life events so I figured it was about time to get my second tattoo.

Although tattooing is an ancient art, and getting a tattoo can be a beautiful, spiritual, and healing process, it’s not exactly natural. It is so important, therefore, that you help your new tattoo heal as naturally and completely as possible.

A tattoo requires not just physical, but also emotional and spiritual strength to heal easily without taking a large toll on your body.

P.S. I mention lavender oil as being amazingly helpful for tattoo care. Learn more about where I buy high quality, pure lavender essential oils – the only kind you want for a tattoo!
