New Tattoo

Saturday my friend Kathryn and I went to Psycho Tattoo to get a new tattoo for me. I've wanted one since the Firecracker Princess was born, but I've always been pregnant or nursing. Well, the Joyful Babe is now 13 months old, and only nurses twice a day so I decided to go for it.

Here it is:


If you're wondering what it is, exactly, allow me to explain. From the bottom up, it says, "I Am", which is my favorite name of God. He always was, and is therefore the foundation. Then the Jesse tree, which originally showed the lineage of Christ. The roots include people like Abraham, Isaac, Jesse, David, and Solomon. Jesus is the trunk, as a shoot from the stump of Jesse. The dove in the branches is the Holy Spirit, and the green leaves are representative of the new life offered to all through His propitious death. It's good, right? Got the whole trinity in there in order. Eh, I like it at least. :)
