It Turned Out To Be A Lot Bigger Than I Originally Expected

But I love it anyway (-:

That’s when I realized my anxiety wasn’t a lack of trust in the Lord, but rather a constant reminder of just how much I need Him.

Yep, the thing on my arm is real. (-:

My title may seem like clickbait-y (only if your mind went there), but I mean it… My new tattoo wasn’t originally going to be this big.

I recently wrote about my views on modesty (including my thoughts on my style, my piercings, and my tattoos). In that article, I mentioned that I was going to be getting a new tattoo soon, and here she is.

I currently have two tattoos, the new one on my arm and the entire world on my ankle.

My ankle tattoo is a matching one with one of my adopted sisters. We had been planning on it since we were in middle school. It was our first tattoo. There is a dot in Ukraine and a dot in SC to symbolize the four Ukrainian children adopted by my parents (one of which being my sister’s).

I like tattoos with meaning, and my arm tattoo holds a strong meaning to me too.

My tattoo is a one-line…
