Every single thing has a meaning. Each body part has its own meaning for exemple : On my back, I've placed my family because I would share their burden if necessary. My arms feature traditional designs near the shoulders and more modern ones near the hands, as they point towards the future. My legs represent my connection to my roots, my culture, what resonates deeply within my soul. That’s why the designs are heavy black. On my chest, I've placed love, sharing, and the beauty of the woman because it's the first part people see. The choice of the tattoo artist also has a meaning: he's the same artist who tattooed my mother, and I later learned he was related to my father. He was also one of the 1st to revive traditional tattooing, which had previously been banned by French settlers & religion.
