To remind me that this is my life, and my story. When I look at this, I remember that I am strong, and that I, not those around me, am responsible for my own happiness. And by that same token, no one can bring me down. I’ve got this; I don’t need to be saved.
Thanks to James at Tar Heel Tattoo for this amazing work.
This was my third tattoo, taken a few hours after it was done. I got it at the London Tattoo Convention in 2011 by the super talented Chummy Alexanian, and it’s probably my favourite. My brother got me into Nirvana at a young age, so this is kind of for him. He means so much to me, and so does the song.
