Blueys tattoo

Harry asked me to write about my tattoo and the significance behind it. I got this tattoo done for my mum. As most of you know I have lost my mum 9 years ago in a car accident that we had in South Africa. I had a lot of trouble getting over the loss, so I decided to get a tattoo in memory of her. Something that I always thought being a wonderful tradition is to put flowers onto the ocean and let the waves carry the flowers away as a last good bye to family members. My favorite flower is the Hibiscus, so I decided to get Hibiscus flowers as a tattoo... so that I symbolized put flowers on the ocean for my mum... just that these stay with me forever. I chose symbolic flowers and not realistic ones, as I liked the style better. It also stands for my new life that I will have in Australia. Certainly not just as stressy as it is here in Germany as the attitude of people overthere is so much more relaxed and friendly. And as I love the ocean and surfing (even thoguh I still have to practise big times when I get there) I thought these flowers would be perfect. Additionally I included the Southern Cross into the flowers, as my mum always loved stars. Whenever we went somewhere on holiday she absolutetly LOVED to see so many stars. Here you can always only see a few, as there is too much light from the big city and because the weather is nearly always shitty lol. Whenever we were on the Southern Hemisphere she looked up into the sky to watch the sky and first of all to look at the Southern Cross... if there is one star combination that I know it is the southern cross. She also always told us to make a wish when there was a shooting star, a believe that I had nearly lost -as I always wished for nothing bad to happen to my family.. which didn'z quite work out :( . I want to show her that I do still believe in the stars... I don't mean starsigns and stuff... just the real stars and their absolute beauty!!! Everyone should take the time and lok into the sky and watch the stars every now and then. Don't forget just how beautiful they are. In addition to this meaning I also had to get the Southern Cross to again stand for my new life in Australia... and especially to show how thankful I am to have Harry! Without Harry I would not be where I am now and not be the person I am. And most certainly I would not be as happy as I am now. I love you Harry. Thank you so very much for everything! SO there you go.. I believe I mentioned everything important about the tattoo. If I forgot anythign I will add it later. Now I will go and upload some photos of the tattoo.
