Paint Balance Self

Tattoo of self/cherry blossoms. Hate myself love myself.

Water was teaching high school and needed more variety in their life. They wanted a tattoo that stated both “hate my life,” and “love my life”. They got the symbol of self. It does not mean self, it is a two. Water felt kind of plain. Water was dating a guy that worked at strip club in Atlanta called Cheetah. One of the stripper’s boyfriends was a tattoo artist. Hanging out one night, Water decided to add cherry blossoms to it. Water stated those are not cherry blossoms. Tattoo kept spiraling. Water is currently pretty happy with it.

Bengali tattoo Oscar Wilde "true friend stab you in the front"

This is written in Bengali. The tattoo was created by a really good friend from Wilmington. It’s an Oscar Wilde, “True friends stab you in the front”. Water likes Oscar Wilde, and finds this quote very entertaining. Water thinks Bengali writing is beautiful, especially the line across the top. Unlike Hebrew, Bengali is read in the same direction as English.
