My latest tattoos are my anklet and bracelet (they're matching). I drew up the design myself kind of as a family tree.

The red petals on the side represent my siblings (6 of them) plus 2 for my parents. My mother is always flitting off so I made her unattached to that branch!

I recently lost my 2nd brother unexpectedly so I thought I would have something to remember him by.

On the other side there are 3 red petals which represent my children. My first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage but I still included him or her as a rememberance as well.

Inside there are 4 main circles. On opposite ends there are waves that represent the island countries - Philippines and Australia - where my parents each came from repectively. The tiny circle inside the wave is coloured red to tie our bloodlines together. On the other opposite sides are stars which feature on both flags from each country (but they don't look like these particular ones though!).

The swirls represent all the directions my life is taking at this point in time and on the ends, 2 look like question marks...because you never know what's going to happen next!!
