(24x36) Black and Grey Tattoo, Mixed Media on Metal

 

Christine is an exceptional woman; one whose presence leaves you feeling profoundly grateful. From the very first moment, it’s clear that she possesses an innate ability to understand and accept you just as you are. Tattooing her was a remarkable experience; the conversation flowed effortlessly, and it was impossible to overlook the joy she exudes despite the challenges life has thrown her way. Through all her past abuse, trauma, and health scares, Christine has emerged with a vibrant passion for living. Her love for family shines brightly—she cherishes her children, grandchildren, and her beloved dogs. Meeting Christine not only uplifts your spirit but inspires a deep appreciation for resilience and the joy of life itself.

 

Quote (from She Warrior submission) by Christine: “I’ve embraced all that has come my way knowing there is a reason and pay it forward.”

 

Bird: Loggerhead Shrike

 I selected the Loggerhead Shrike for Christine because this remarkable bird, though small in size, possesses extraordinary strength and resilience. Beneath its unassuming exterior lies a predatory songbird that defies expectations. Just as this bird showcases an unexpected might, Christine embodies the same spirit of tenacity and power, proving that true strength often comes in small

packages.
