Remember Your Roots
If you look closely, within the roots of the tree are the words “Remember your roots”. On one of the branches sits a single bird representing my Nanny (Grandmother) who has passed.
For me this tattoo reminds me of where I came from, and the family that has helped make me the person I am today.
This was my second tattoo. It sits on my left hip and starts just above my wasteline. I got it at True Tattoo in Saratoga, New York and my artist was Ashley… she does great work!
I was born in the month of May when the cherry blossoms start to bloom. Part of my Vietnamese name “Xuan” also means springtime. I wanted a different, more realistic take on the cherry blossoms rather than the traditional ones. This motherfucker hurt like a bitch, especially being on the ribs. This amazing rib panel piece was done at Electro Lady Lux in Vancouver, BC by Hilary Dawson.
