I had a hard life as a child, and i felt that this tat has represented it well. I got the tat at a time that i felt the pain, but was beginning the bloom into a new person and a new life. I, at the time, had not fully bloomed into the life away from the abusive past i survived. I should be getting a new tat on my back soon. it is a Barbed Wire cross with a rose coming from the middle. I now feel in full bloom to a great life, with memories that will always last, but have been overcome.
