I have been wanting to get a travel tattoo for a long time but it has been a challenge to put the theme of travel into a tattoo. The things I love most about travel are of course taking photos, but also meeting new people, having new experiences, connecting with different cultures and the overwhelming sense of freedom I gain from doing what I love. These are all difficult things to capture in a tattoo. After some time, I came across the quote “she flies with her own wings” which I felt encompassed all of those intangibles. After doing some research on tattoo shops I decided on a small tattoo shop in Cincinnati, Ohio. The tattoo artist took my ideas, sketched them into a lovely piece and went to work transforming my arm into a representation of me. After three hours my tattoo was complete and I am incredibly happy with it.
