Breathing is something most of us take for granted. Anna's lovely white tattoo is on her left side torso, right over her ribcage and lung. She says this reminds her of the gift of taking an effortless breath. Not that she needs reminding, because Anna has cystic fibrosis. And while she's a beautiful young lady who outwardly appears the picture of health, she's spent a lifetime fighting the battle to breathe.
Maybe this tat should remind the rest of us to actively support Cystic Fibrosis research and get to the day where Anna and many others can breathe as freely as the rest of us do.
When we collared (haha) Wayne to ask about this "statement" tat, he hesitated and said, "well let's just say it was a long night." And there was hell to pay in the morning, too, as Wayne's wife was so angry about what he'd done that she told him she'd like to tear the skin right off his neck. Which is one of a few things that might look worse!
Kirsten has always admired and been fascinated by the female form in culture and art and that's why she chose this design. And, it's no accident that she placed in on her spine - unmistakable sign of a strong woman! We've got your back, girlfriend!
The musician's life can be a tough one. A lot of hard work, huge commitment, strings of dim clubs and honkey-tonks, like the one where I saw Travis play. So it helps to stay focused and I'll bet Travis's tattoo of a sweet Fender Strat is motivating. He's always loved these guitars, but he doesn't have one. Yet. Keep at it Travis, and we'll sure you'll end up with the tat Strat AND the real deal.
Speaking girl to girl, Megan, this is a bold statement. (In my childhood we shopped at the "Piggly Wiggly" market; this reminds me of their logo!)
Funny, because this tat goes way back to her childhood, at age 4, when her older brother nicknamed her Piggy. The name spread through the family, then to friends. And of course, it stuck.
Why on the forearm? This is Megan's second tattoo. Her first isn't visible, and this one she wanted to SEE. Takes a strong woman to wear a piggy tattoo...you go, girl!
