Sister Love and Tattoo Idea


A sisters love is forever




Me and Danni have always been close sisters, we dont fight like most siblings, just the occasional stupid argument like who got to sit in the front seat or what game we were going to play. She's 3 years and 8 days older me so our birthdays are just a week apart, and she has always been there for me no matter what. We used to share a room when we were little but as we turned into teenagers I got my own room but we still next door to each other. Then as she finished college and moved onto university I had to get used to her not being around. It was hard to begin with, it hurt most that I actually got used to living as an only child and then when she would return for a few weeks I would find it hard having to share the house again as it seemed.
A few months ago she got her dream job, a lead singer on a cruise ship, and off she sailed. You think Id be used to her being away from home after 4 years but this seems harder than any of that. Its because of this Ive decided I want to get a tattoo in the thought of her :)


These are some exisiting tattoo designs I have found, I love the font of 'Lucy&Orla', this typography is written by artist Betsy Dunlap, and the tattoo was comissioned because the father loved her writing style, and i can see why! Im half temped to contact her about my own.



At the moment this is the design I want written on the top of my thigh, at first I wanted her name written on my wrist (which is still a possibility) but I figure on my thigh its not majorly going to be seen, unless in shorts or a bikini, its slightly more hidden and personal which I think is nice.
In the photo of my leg above you can see faintly where I attempted to see what it would really look like, I did this by writing the design out backwards on celotape in a fine liner and then pressing it onto my skin. Sounds silly I know but I just reeeallly wanted to know what it would look like. First impressions are good! Il keep you posted on if my ideas change and when I get the real thing done!

Im off to see her on the 19th June and would absolutely love to have it done by then to show her but we'll see how it goes! Im not so good with the pain thing haha.
Do you have any tattoos? Is it meaningful like this or just an image you love? :)
