Finding Balance



T BY ALEXANDER WANG JACKET, VINCE TANK TOP, SIWY SEQUIN LEGGINGS, CHANEL SHOES

This is my sixth tattoo, located on the back of my left ankle. To put it simply, I've been through my share of pain and anguish, but I've also been through my share of laughter and smiles. I've literally collapsed as a result of having my heart broken, but I've also stood taller because someone restored my faith in humanity. In the end, life is all about .

ETA:

Michelle of FVNCY drew this amazing portrait of me. Although we haven't met in person yet, I feel extremely blessed to know her. I've said it once a million times and I'll say it again: I love you, Michelle.

XOXO,

I wanna get inked, but I constantly change my mind about what I want and where. My boyfriend thinks it's cause of my conflicting personalities aka the artist and perfectionist. Bleeehhhhh.

We're going to meet! ONE DAY! Regardless, I'm honored to say you're my friend! I love love love you Lily! You're my inspiration to be strong <3

I also love that inner bicep tattoo you have, I'm psyching myself up to get one there. One day...

Between the good and the bad, the victories and defeats, everything that happens brings us to the person we're meant to be at this very moment, and carves us into the person we're meant to be in the next.

Balance. Great tattoo.

Great leggings, too.

But that top is even better.

May 2011 kick 2010's ass.

Love you lots.

SAVING BETTY said...

hey babe,
thats a pretty awesome area to have it inked, i never really even thought of it...usually its like on the wrist or the back of the neck.

i really want to get inked but i think my mom's beating is going to cause more pain than the tattoo.

and Michelle is one hella of a good drawer.

maximilian said...

nice meaningful tattoo! im totally on the fence on the practicality of getting one or what to get even. but i feel like i'd want to represent something via ink and art on my skin as well. anyways, keep looking faboosh girl!! xoxo

Your tattoo is beautiful, but what I love most is the meaning behind it. Regardless of what kind of shit life throws at us, there's always a way out and there's always something beneficial that is produced. You're very eloquent and talented in the sense that you can compose your feelings into writing. I fail at that. I'm never able to express myself the way I want to, but when I think about things I know every little detail. Confusing? Now you get the point. Hahaha.

I'm thinking of getting a tatoo, but I'm so afraid of the pain. People say it's the best pain, but I'm a little thrown off but mix responses.

Keep smiling, Lily! Sometimes fighting your way through life is a bitch, but it's fun to see where it'll get you in the future. Love you and your thoughts. :)
