So, y'all are probably wondering why I got the new tattoo. Does it mean something or is it random or what? Well it obviously means something, I would never permanantly ink something on my body on a whim, and not have it mean anything.
I have wanted this tattoo for about a year now. I was searching for rib cage tattoos, and found a very similar one to this, however, it was five birds and was more diagonal.
This tattoo has several meanings. The first and foremost is family. There are four birds on my side, three of which represent those I love the most in this world, and those who mean the most to me. My mom, dad, and sister. The fourth is representative of me. The placement is also signifigant. They are on my side, because my family is always there for me, and always "by my side." We may fuss and we may argue occasionally, but what family doesn't? I know that no matter what they are the three people I can count on no matter what, for anything.
The reason why they are birds? Well, there are a ton of reasons... haha. I love what birds can represent and what they can stand for. Freedom. Power. (depending on the bird) Beauty. Lively. I also love this quote "No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky." So birds symbolize freedom, and flying (something I've always wanted to be able to do! lol) yet even the birds are not free. Something I find intriguing. It's a complex idea, that forces me to think about things in a different way.
Anddd, I think it looks really really awesome. Haha, From the moment I saw the tattoo, I was like I love this, but how can I make it my own. What can I do to it to make it represent me? And I was finally able to do that!
