“I’m only lost because I’m free”

even if I don’t know where I’m going, it doesn’t matter because I can go anywhere and do anything.

This is my first tattoo, and probably my last. It says “Non Carbarundum Illegitimi”, which means “Don’t let the bastards get you down”. Its a mock latin phrase that gained popularity just after WWII. I got it because my grandfather used to say this to my mom, and my mom to me. My grandfather passed away 2 days into the new year, and this is a tribute to him. It’s also written in my mom’s handwriting, and located on my left side, close to my heart forever. It was done by Danny Derrick at San Luis Tattoo Co.

          These were my second and third tattoos. Last year, my sister surprised me by visiting me from California and we both got these sparrows on our ribs. Hers is on the opposite side, so they face each other when we’re facing each other. We chose sparrows because they are both of our favorite bird, and usually when people get tattoos of sparrows they get two, so we thought it would be cool if we each got one. 

          The script underneath, “Quiero ser libre” means “I want to be free” in Spanish. It’s a line from my favorite song, “God’s Child (Baila Conmigo)” by Selena. I think Selena was an amazing person and performer so this tattoo shows my love for her as well as how she has affected my life with her music. I thought it would go well underneath my bird, because I associate birds with freedom as well.

The sparrow was done by Shannon at Tinta Cantina in Albuquerque, NM (Although he has since moved back to Montana) and the script was done by John at Route 66 Fine Line Tattoo (also in Albuquerque).

This quote is from one of my favorite poems, written by JRR Tolkein in Lord of the Rings. As my first tattoo, it is quite important to me and serves as a personal reminder to keep my head above water.

My first tattoo, done by Joe Finch at Ink By Finch.  

It says ‘Expecto Patronum’, a spell in Harry Potter which has deep meanings for me.

From the first time I read the book and the spell came out I already fell in love with the concept and ideology that J.K. Rowling came up with.

The spell actually means ‘I await for a protector” in Latin.
In the Harry Potter itself, ‘Expecto Patronum” is used to repel Dementors. Dementor is the guard of the Azkaban prison, a dark creature that absorbs your joy and happiness. So, in other words, the spell is used to repel all the bad aura that wants to steal happiness from me.

The unique thing about it is, if you want to cast the spell, you have to think of things that make you happy. The happier your memory is, the stronger your patronus will be.
That’s what I hope I will see every time I look at my tattoo, the pictures of places I’ve been to, my good friends, families, and all the good memories I’ve had with them.
I got them all in my arm as my Patronus.


So, what’s your strongest Patronus?

My second tattoo. Done by Hank at Freaks ‘n’ Geeks Tattoo in Asheville, North Carolina. Amazing artist, and a really unique location.

The quote, “I have hated the words, and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right” is from the novel “The Book Thief”, which has been one of my favorite books of the past few years. :)
