Tattoo assignment

 
  If I were to get a tattoo that has significance to me I would get a tattoo of a butterfly in cohesion with an infinity sign. I would place it over my heart on the left side or just under, on my upper rib cage area. The butterfly is a symbol of my grandma. She passed away of cancer before any of her grandchildren were born. My parents went to a psychic for a general reading and the psychic brought up my grandma and how even though she can't be here physically as her children and grandchildren grew up, she would always be there for love and support through the good and the bad in the form of a butterfly.
 I didn't know about this until probably the middle of this year, but when I found out it gave me a comforting feeling. 

  Looking back on my growing up and even present day, I remember my brother, sister and I always playing in the backyard with this black and white butterfly everyday. We would try to catch it, but we never could and when we were about 5 years old we gave it the name Skiddish Hidey because it would always fly away and disappear, then it would come back again. 

  Now that I know about it, I notice the butterfly more. Whenever I go through rough times or happy moments, family gatherings and memories being made, I look out the window and the butterfly is always there, watching over and being apart of every moment. I know that when I need her she's always there watching over me and guiding me to make good decisions. The reason why I want it over my heart and to be in cohesion with an infinity sign is because whenever I'll look at it I will think of her and know that she is forever with me and will be in my heart for infinity.

  1. I love that you drew your tattoo and that is layered symbolism from your family and historic symbols. Pay attention to natural places for paragraph breaks. :) Whoop!
