For several years, I have wanted to cover a tattoo on my ankle with something more… me. I got a lil flower put there on a whim when I was too young to even legally get a tattoo. I was always pushing the limits – that is a whole other story. So… a few years back I decided to have the flower lasered off, a multi step process of which I only complete one treatment. The process was painful both financially and physically, to the point that I never went back, leaving me with an undefined blob of random color where the flower once lived.
Through a series of events and thanks to facebook, I have recently reconnected with a lovely friend (see above), whose husband happens to be a tattoo artist. Our reunion was permanently recorded in the shape of the cross you see above. I knew I wanted a cross, since nothing is so important as what Christ did upon the cross. The text came to me as I was working on the design. I love it. I love the reminder. Jake did a wonderful job. Seeing Angel was a blessing. Check out more of his work here, on his facebook page. Blessings…

Hey, I can't view your site properly within Opera, I actually hope you look into fixing this.
You know what I love about this blog? This story is not only a story about covering up an old tattoo, but it is rich in allegory. You made a decision and then tried to undo what you had done. It didn't work. No matter how hard you tried to erase it, you could still see what you had done. Sure, others may not have seen it, but you could. A constant reminder every time you looked down. It wasn’t until the complete work of Christ on the cross were you wiped clean of your past decision. No more reminders, His work is complete. The old is gone, the new has come.
Blessings my friend.
