The Meaning Behind the Ink: The Story

February 20, 2024, I went in alone to a normal prenatal checkup. I went alone because I was having to go to multiple appointments a week, and I thought it was just another appointment—but this one turned my world upside down.

 

“I’m sorry, we can’t find a heartbeat” will forever be embedded in my brain. My world came crashing down. I was alone and had to call and let everyone know that I had to go deliver my sleeping baby.

 

I gave birth to the most perfect little boy on February 21, 2024.

 

This tattoo was given to me as a gift by a very good friend the day after his first birthday. Healing has been a wild ride. Tattoos have been my therapy.
