This tattoo was done by Phil Morgan at RLMG Tattoos in CT. It is actually a compilation of my first and second tattoos. My first tattoo is the Celtic symbol below my neck, a triple spiral inside a gypsy moon; I got that tattoo when I moved into school my freshman year of college. The triple spiral symbolizes the cyclical trend of life, maiden-mother-crone and the Gypsy moon symbolizes freedom. We added an orange glow to this tattoo to tie into the colorfulness of the octopus and cherry-blossom branches. Phil is an amazing artist and I am so glad I came to him with the idea for my second tattoo. The Octopus symbolizes psyche and creativity, and while there are many different meanings for cherry blossom branches in different cultures; to me they symbolize both the transience of life as well as perseverance. Much like the flower itself, life is a fleeting entity and while it is short lived and delicate, it returns each year to remind us to savor life’s beauty. Over the past few years I have been battling a stunting anxiety disorder, and recently as I started to gain control of my life again, I thought of this tattoo.

I came across this sentence recently on someone’s instagram: “I masurbate at your girlfriend’s pictures.” At. Like it’s a gun. And it’s ammo. But the correct word is kind of elusive, really. To? Is that like running to Pearl Jam? Or like sending a greeting card to someone? With? Like you…

These are my first tattoos. I got them on the day of my 18th birthday by Geddes. This was the first time I had been in “The Shady Lady” where he worked, and him and Teddy both made me feel at home. I was so nervous to get them done because all my friends have said that feet are one of the worst spots on your body to get tattooed. I had my best friend Ricky Martin with me and he held my hand through the whole thing. It was one of the worst pains I have ever felt in my entire life, but Geddes made sure that I felt comfortable. Once they were finished, I was in love. I grew up watching Star Wars, thanks to my father, and I knew that my first tattoo needed to be Star Wars related. I found the picture of Han and Leia that I used for my tattoo online. A graphic artist out of California named Jose Pulido created the picture and many other sugar skull Star Wars characters, but this one stuck out to me the most. In the original picture they are holding hands, so when Geddes redrew the picture he had them reaching out to each other. I love these tattoos so much and it shows my love of Star Wars and also keeps me believing in true love. Thanks Geddes!
