This is my 9th tattoo, and although it’s so simple, it’s probably one of my favorites. I have seen many quotation mark tattoos, and I have admired them all. But I wanted to make mine my own.
I have been writing since I was 11 years old. On the first page of all of my journals, I’ve drawn open quotations. The open quotations represented my own story that was being written. Once I finished writing on every page in my journals, I drew closed quotations on the very last page. Those closed quotations represented the end of my story. After that, I would move on to the next journal, drawing open quotations, and doing it all over again.
Now, why didn’t I get closed quotations too? Well, because I’ll never stop writing. Writing is my passion, and passions should never fade away.
