The butterfly; Resilience and strength. The ability to guide ourselves through difficult times and emerge stronger than before. Their gentle flight is a reminder of life’s fleeting moments and the importance of embracing joy. The butterfly can be a powerful reminder to trust the process and signifies the incredible feats we can achieve.
Last week created this incredibly special piece. I asked for a butterfly and if we could somehow incorporate mom’s hand touching mine from our recent photoshoot with into the butterfly wings. I had no other vision or expectations outside of those two. When she showed me the mock up I was blown away and it exceeding anything I ever hoped for. The butterfly has been something special between my mom and I as of this year, and I knew it needed to be apart of me forever. At our family photos, our photographer told us to touch hands with our opposite hand on our heart and feel what we needed to feel. I didn’t expect the moment to be as powerful as it was and we both were left with teary eyes. A moment and feeling I hope to never forget.
I was incredibly thankful to get in with Yvonne, who I’ve wanted to tattoo me for years and be in the company of two incredible friends + .
