With Dede I decided to do something different. Instead of interviewing her I decided to let this down to earth, mother of 3 explain her tattoos to me and to each one of you. One thing I love to do is find every day people to model as well as professional models. Here is Dede's story...
"I have ten tattoos in total. Both my shoulders are done. In my left shoulder I have a key that says forever above it which symbolizes my love and marriage. My right shoulder has two koi fish swimming together and two flowers around it. Which is a tattoo I got while I was pregnant that symbolizes new life and a new journey."
"I have both my hips done which I got both done at the same time. I got them done right after I had my second child to cover my ugly stretch marks. On my.left side is a peacock with flowers which I am going to expand on on my right side is my.husbands name with an.owl underneath holding a lock to me key. My stomach has Italia my left thigh has magandang bulaklak which means beautiful flower in Tagalog."
Behind The Tattoo:
I got this colorful humming bird done for my daughter her name is underneath, i feel that humming birds are so beautiful and free, and that's how I picture my daughter as a gorgeous free spirit. I do have plans to add on. Going to add traditional cherry blossoms because she's gorgeous like the most beautiful delicate flower...
"My left upper ankle has Winnie the pooh and tiger with my sons names, my other leg has my dad's name. Right foot has hello kitty with lighting bolt and a heart. My left arm has a hummingbird with my daughters name underneath."
So as you see, everyone, no matter what, has a story for all of their ink. Thank you Dede for letting the world know about yours. And thank all the readers who love tattoos and music and what they stand for -Amanda
