I’ve been obsessed with tattoos ever since I was little, but when I turned 18 I couldn’t get one quite yet because I was pregnant with my daughter.
But — I got one on January 3rd of this year and I am obsessed!
Although I find tattoos pretty and was planning on getting them no matter what, the meaning behind this particular tattoo is close to my heart.
Instead of having the natural birth I wanted, I was given an unexpected emergency c-section.
I now have a scar on my underwear line that’s less visible now than it used to be but it still very much apparent.
I didn’t choose to have that scar.
I didn’t choose to be cut into and nor did I consent.
It wasn’t to “save by baby’s life” so I really can’t justify having it in any way, shape, or form.
But what I did with this tattoo is I got a choice on what I put on my body again.
I got to choose the design, location, and where and when I got it.
I had control over the entire situation and in getting this tattoo, I felt like I had control over what marked my body again.
My daughters name is Ava and Ava means bird-like — specifically, hummingbirds which were her great grandmas favorites.
I wasn’t aware that’s what her name meant until my mother in law mentioned it at her great grandmas funeral.
So now I have this beautiful little hummingbird that both represents my daughter and my choices with my body being my own again.
