The 2 flowers represents Steve and I the 3 ladybugs are for my beautiful daughters Hayli, Kenli & Gracie the hummingbird is for my Grandma & Grandpa Mayne that have passed on the butterfly is for life & family that is always changing and will always be beautiful. Growing up Grandma & Grandpa always fed the hummingbirds outside the kitchen window. We would sit for a long time and watch them eat. It was the same family of Hummingbirds for years and Grandma & Grandpa had a name for them. The one that I remember the most is "ol' black chin" The are a few other stories behind Hummingbirds with my Grandparents and I think of them every time I see one.
I am very sure that there will be several people that wont be happy that I have done this but ya know IT's how I wanted to show my love for my family.

This is the outline of the tattoo
Half way done.... at this point I wanted to be done...
Finished at last! This took a little over 5 hours. So glad its done and I LOVE IT
Proof that its me that got the tattoo....lol all wrapped up for the next week. I have to clean it 3 times a day and slather it with A&D Ointment then wrap it up again. It turned out so much better than I could have ever expected.
