My Accessories

I.

Nothing ventured Nothing gained.

I received this in November of 2010 from Max's tattoo village in Potts point, the meaning for me was that by nature I'm very indecisive and often choose not to take risks, which occasionally I have regretted, this is a reminder to myself that sometimes in life it is necessary to take risks to get what we want. 

II.

The figure of a lamb, the feats of a lion.

I received my second tattoo in July of 2011 from Caleb at Tattoo Magic in Melbourne. Taken from a Shakespeare play this quote is very meaningful to me as I was teased for my size all throughout high school, this is to remind myself that size does not and never will impact on my potential.

III

Live Fast Die Young. 

My third tattoo was from the Illustrated Man in Sydney in March of 2013. I always felt I was going to die early, due to poor choices, and not the healthiest lifestyle, this is a reminder to myself that life is incredibly fragile and to live each moment as much as possible

IV

You Are No 1, You Are No. 1.

This was my fourth tattoo, also from the Illustrated Man, I received this in late August of 2013, this for me, reinforces that nothing is forever and that my own and everyone's feelings change on a daily basis, which may mean I lose someone important but as time goes on someone else will fill that void and my own feelings will continue to develop and change. 

V.

Stressed Depressed But Well Dressed. 

I got this tattoo from Instagram; Foureyestattoo today. Earlier this year I saw this quote and it truly resonated with me, and I feel is an incredibly accurate description of myself at this stage in my life. I have struggled with emotional issues but the one constant passion in my life, that is clothing and fashion, has really helped me in these times, due to finding like minded individuals to speak with and just the ability for nice clothing and a nice outfit that I put together to instantly lift my mood.

I II III IIII

Also done by Foureyestattoo today is this little tattoo on my knuckles of my left hand. I have always wanted knuckle tattoos, and I was always wanting something which was simple yet visually appearing, after tossing around a couple different ideas I stuck with this one and am really happy with it, I can't wait to go back on the 2nd to get something on my right hand which compliments this, decisions, decisions. 

I apologise for only having mobile photos of these tattoos at this stage, I will try to update with high res shots soon! I have a shoot this weekend for this blog, so stay posted for that to be uploaded early next week! Take care and much love!
