How many tattoos do you have?
Three.
Where are they?
One on my leg, one on each of my arms and soon to be one on my back.
What are they of?
One of my arms has a band, the other arm has three Chinese symbols, my leg has a Celtic knot and my back is going to have my family crest.
The significance
The band on my arm I got after I changed certain things in my life. The symbols on my other arm mean "strength," "God" and "sacrifice," the three things that I live by. I got it after I reached my goal of getting through my first quarter at OSU. I got the Celtic knot because of my Irish heritage. The three parts of the Celtic knot are for my grandfather, my father and myself. The letters are for our initials, we all share the same initials.
Would you consider getting more done?
Yeah, I like the experience of it. I'm going to be graduating soon so I'm going to get one for that.

How many tattoos do you have?
Five.
Where are they?
Two on my back, one on the back of each leg and one on my arm.
What are they of?
Stars and swirls are on my back, I have a Koi fish on the back of each leg. It means "good luck," and when I put my legs together it makes the Pieces sign. The one on my arm is of broccoli, bacon and song lyrics.
The significance
My two favorite foods are broccoli and bacon, and the song lyrics are from a band from my hometown, McGunks. My boyfriend has the same one. He introduced me to the band, I introduced him to broccoli and we both share bacon.
Would you consider getting more done?
Oh yeah, I already have the appointment. I'm diabetic so (broccoli and bacon) are the foods I can have. On my other arm I'm going to get foods that I can't have, like an ice cream cone with a skull because it could kill me.
