Currently I've only got one tattoo of a sea turtle on my back. Other designs are in the works.
Detail...
And for an idea of the size, back when I had long hair...
There's a cheesy story behind it, but it's important to me. I was snorkeling around a fire coral reef when on vacation with my best friend and her family. I turned around and saw a juvenile turtle swimming nearby. It swam up to me, flipped upside down, swam underneath me, and then off into the ocean. It was amazing. I decided that what I had been planning to do for a career was pointless and going to bore me to death, and that I would much, much rather spend my time studying the natural world instead. So as soon as school started back that fall, I switched my major to biology from French. It's delayed graduation, but it's been well worth it. So I've got a bit of a thing for turtles.
