Hello everyone. My name is Kristen. I have a son that is now 10 yrs old and was diagnosed this year. It has been a life changing roller coaster ride of good and bad. I know tattoos are not for everyone, but for me (and other people) it's a way of expression. Kinda a way to wear you feelings/ life accomplishments on you skin. I thought people can share thier tattoos and meanings behind them on here.
I added my recent tattoo I got for my son Tyler.
Hello Nothing to see here, Your message made me cry as I have been stuck in the holds of depression - or as I think of it seeing the world for what it is and don't really see things and think how beautiful it is often. I over think tattoos also and have never been able to get one due to 100's of reasons, but your story gave me hope and helps me see what it can mean to a person.I have cherry blossoms all down the right side of my back. I got the tattoo when I was 20, I had been suffering from severe depression since I was 15 and was just recovering enough to start to appreciate things in life again. On a spring morning I looked out the window at a cherry tree in my garden that was in bloom, and thought "wow that's beautiful". It was the first time I had simply appreciated beauty in years, and it filled me with hope for the future, that I could be happy again. So I had the flowers tattooed on my back so that I would be reminded of that amazing feeling every time I catch sight of it the mirror. It still always makes me smile.
I am so glad that my story could give you some hope. I am sorry to hear that you are struggling with depression, it is so very hard, but don't ever forget that things can and will get better for you, even when the world seems like a terrible place there is so much beauty and love out there just waiting for you to pay attention to it. Stay strong and don't forget that we care and want to support you.Hello Nothing to see here, Your message made me cry as I have been stuck in the holds of depression - or as I think of it seeing the world for what it is and don't really see things and think how beautiful it is often.

Yeah, it almost convinced me to give in and get 3 little birds tattoo from the 3 little birds song by Bob Marley with which I start my day sometimes, but then I got carried away and thought of doing the whole songs lyrics visually and I stopped (OCD).I am so glad that my story could give you some hope.
