Kristine's Globe and a Memorial for Mom

Kristine has seven tattoos, two of which she shared with us late last month in Penn Station.<br /><br />The first one I  noticed when she walked by was this piece from the back of her calf:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2NRZwFuHlWIX9vZNU5l2MbRZxMX1aee8_hLbRjX8OpOSEtSGp9M3SJ6630Q_DNSH26mn5qRGIx29W-Mk4-_GxVb120W5pb9SAFAkPsZ_09EouV_UHaJBmXbQ6SNvAj9gaP4VLyVTz/s1600/Globe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2NRZwFuHlWIX9vZNU5l2MbRZxMX1aee8_hLbRjX8OpOSEtSGp9M3SJ6630Q_DNSH26mn5qRGIx29W-Mk4-_GxVb120W5pb9SAFAkPsZ_09EouV_UHaJBmXbQ6SNvAj9gaP4VLyVTz/s320/Globe.jpg" width="291" /></a></div><br />This is an homage to her travels, having recently returned from ten months in New Zealand. The Latin phrase below the globe, "<a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/in%20omnia%20paratus">On Omnia Paratus</a>" translates to "ready for all things".<br /><br />She also shared this lovely floral tattoo on her upper right arm:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFtgqWjK-8UGOurpTkvb8ugWZILaGCVX8l79Zxj-GspyrTDjDQZDOvdhSIKd5SLhXuTnVcN_fefBKUZn6mWD-Sd6-KbTqhFEDTYHNjgKgAx8u9eJaLVWC0NDoOUOOflAyKEyu-Kj9g/s1600/tulips.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFtgqWjK-8UGOurpTkvb8ugWZILaGCVX8l79Zxj-GspyrTDjDQZDOvdhSIKd5SLhXuTnVcN_fefBKUZn6mWD-Sd6-KbTqhFEDTYHNjgKgAx8u9eJaLVWC0NDoOUOOflAyKEyu-Kj9g/s400/tulips.jpg" width="326" /></a></div><br />Kristine explained that these <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip">tulips</a> are a memorial to her mother, who passed away from lung cancer.<br /><br />These tattoos were done by <a href="http://www.nogroovesingunsights.blogspot.com/">Chris Pesonen</a> at <a href="http://www.fatkattat.com/index.html">Fat Kat Tattoos</a> in Keyport, New Jersey. Work from Fat Kat has appeared previously on Tattoosday <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/search/label/Fat%20Kat%20Tattoo">here</a>.<br /><br />Thanks to Kristine for sharing her tattoos with us hereon Tattoosday!
