My mother had a blue bird tatttoo. I got these two in memory of her. She passed away in 1999. The red one symbolises her as it was her favourite colour and is on my left side so closer to my heart. The white one symbolises me as being the more youthful one. The birds are ever so slightly not lined up, this is to symbolise us being such different people. I wanted it to be a noticable different, but the artist said that being on the lower back it really needed to be centered.
