My first tattoo: Emily

So this past Sunday (Oct. 16th), I got my first tattoo. This whole event was actually completely unplanned. My family and I were discussing tattoos on Saturday night and decided to go the next day. We were lucky enough to get a walk in appointment at House of Colour in Bayshore.
 I've wanted a tattoo for as long as I can remember, constantly pinning different ideas on my Pinterest board. I always wanted something that has meaning to me, that I wont regret as I get older. I decided to get a small crescent moon on the inside of my right wrist. This is a symbol that comes out of one of my favorite books, Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margret Stohl. The crescent moon is a symbol of the Casters ( they resemble witches) and the main character, Lena Duchannes, has a birthmark in the shape of a crescent moon underneath her eye.
My tattoo also represents the relationship between me and my mom. Ever since I was a little girl, we would always say "I love you to the moon and back". So now I have a symbol of my favorite book and me and my moms relationship with me forever.
