After studying abroad in France and getting a commemorative tattoo of the trip, I realized that the wine and the language barrier was more apparent in the tattoo than I previously thought. It was sad but I needed to get it covered. After years of laser removal, I covered it with my skeletal flamingo and some beautiful tropical plants. The flamingo and florals are both an homage to my Key West wedding and serves as a reminder that true social bonds last longer than life.
