Michelle's Tattoo Takes Your Breath Away

Michelle has a lot of ink, twenty-one tattoos, all told, but when I stopped her in Penn Station, she chose to share this one with us:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggHII_cEKDY3SRB9D7wh0JYIBsZnFHzQjk9s1ZOCqy6KCYVx_NrOaIBYQN2AkY0Vb2wt_IBbnpyJLv_JGPFkxI8TkbYEcADIn2C4bS4z6iaFyzAzMEkBKzXlpvPwYnm1uDo_52JU1W/s1600/moments+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggHII_cEKDY3SRB9D7wh0JYIBsZnFHzQjk9s1ZOCqy6KCYVx_NrOaIBYQN2AkY0Vb2wt_IBbnpyJLv_JGPFkxI8TkbYEcADIn2C4bS4z6iaFyzAzMEkBKzXlpvPwYnm1uDo_52JU1W/s400/moments+1.jpg" width="295" /></a></div><br />Boldly planted on her upper right arm, Michelle explained that she paraphrased and pared down a longer quotation to read, more simply, "Live for the moments that take your breath away". I believe she was referring to the saying, "<span style="font-family: arial;">Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." </span><br /><br />The flowers in the photo are cherry blossoms that were done in blue, rather than the traditional pink because, as Michelle tells it, she's "not really a pink kind of girl".<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmH4X32SCOW3pQbeCjmPG220F759E0CfWrG7fEuArvGEhMHUG9q6V6rkPpnSMyQAYleQWZlXvYwQWjYeiHf4HhvtbE_VLnr8F9qArUwSkJUjE4VRrulf-QduFHxXOxJlrnly1Ns9nh/s1600/moments+1+detail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmH4X32SCOW3pQbeCjmPG220F759E0CfWrG7fEuArvGEhMHUG9q6V6rkPpnSMyQAYleQWZlXvYwQWjYeiHf4HhvtbE_VLnr8F9qArUwSkJUjE4VRrulf-QduFHxXOxJlrnly1Ns9nh/s400/moments+1+detail.jpg" width="342" /></a></div><br />This tattoo was inked by <a href="http://hobostattoo.site.aplus.net/fattony.shtml">Fat Tony</a> at <a href="http://hobostattoo.site.aplus.net/">Hobo's Tattoo Shop</a> in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.<br /><br />Thanks to Michelle for sharing this tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
