Tattoo

Well as most of you know recently I finally got a tattoo of my daughters name. It's been two years in the making I have been trying to decide what to get or how to get it I thought a graffiti type of lettering but I wanted it to be meaningful and have exactly Eloise's life/ personality. So with lots of thought I wrote down exactly what I wanted to be in her her name tattoo and called 4 different shops to set up an appointment to have them draw up a sketch. After going to my first appointment with heath at Pitbull Tattoos and piercing I told him what I was thinking and he said give me a couple days to come up with a sketch well then next afternoon got the call to come see it and  fell in love with it. It is exactly what I wanted it represents Eloise life fully. That day I booked my appointment for the following week on Friday  June the 13. I know what your thinking you booked a tattoo for Friday the 13 but its actually a good day for me I always have awesome luck when it comes to that day. So it was the big day I got eloise a babysitter at the last minute as plans fell through with her dad taking her and I was bound and determined I was going that day and would get my long awaited tattoo. My best friend Cheyenne drove me there It was a bunch of emotions running through my head  as I sat down and waited for heath to set everything up pick out colours and to get the stencil ready and in place. I was ecstatic to see the drawing one last time before it was permanently on my body. I was so anxious, overjoyed and appreciative that I was getting this tattoo finally and by a very good approachable guy that is an awesome artist. Here is a picture of my tattoo and I will explain the meaning of each letter as I have been asked many times since I got my tattoo what each letter stands for.

E- Done in puzzle pieces to represent that  Eloise has autism.


L- has flowers as eloise is known as our flower child

O- Is the breastfeeding sign eloise has been breastfeed since 5 minutes old and still going at 26 months old so that had to be in the tattoo I am very proud that I could do this and give her what is best.

I- Has music notes which stand for her love of music. The dot to the I is the Applecheeks symbol as you all know my love for this brand of cloth diapers, it was only right to have that in this tattoo, as eloise has spent most of her 26 months wearing this brand and spreading her love for the brand even when potty trained.

S- Done in the rainbow as some family members refer to her as my rainbow child

E- Puzzle pieces in the same colours as the autism awareness symbol
