my tattoo consits of 8 birds each representing one member of each of my families

the birds are crows each shaded of the persons favorite color

the crows make a flight pattern the shape of an "S" representing my last name

and lower part of the "S" curves around a rose shaded every color but red

the red is excluded because I am not a Red so I will not put red in my rose

I chose crows to represent my families because one day they too will fly away and may never return

this tattoo will start just below my heart and curve along my ribs and up the side of my stomach

so they will remain close to my heart forever even when they are far away.
