She told me that she had developed alopecia, lost all her hair and that she was finally ready and happy to reclaim a bit of her identity back and own her Alopecia. Last week she came back for session 2 and we did this flower on the other side of her head. One of my favorite days. Thank you Tanya!!

The tattoo is inspired by a paw print from one of her front paws. I kept the original shape and size of the paw intact so that the design felt as authentic as possible.

Birth flowers are flowers assigned to birth months, and each one has its own symbolic meaning for the person it represents.

So I got a volcano with honeycomb coming out the top as smoke, so that it represents my mom and my sister, the volcano is for my mom because we always say I lava you to each other, and a honeycomb is for my sister because her nickname is bee.
