My Phoenix

The myth of the Phoenix originated in Persian mythology. It tells of a beautiful fire bird that dies in the flames and then is reborn from the ashes.

When I say my phoenix I mean my soon-to-be tattoo. I've been thinking and thinking about the placement, the colors, the words to go with it... And I finally figured out what is going next to my fire bird.

Dallas: Oh I know!

Becca: Of course you know, but they don't!

Dallas: Do they even know the story behind it?

Becca: Well they know half-

Dallas: Half isn't enough! Let me tell the story!

Becca: Uh... Ok.

Dallas: We decided that the placing would be on our right shoulder, next to the blade, it will extend down pretty far down with vibrant colors and my all time favorite lyrics ever from a song! "Arise and be all that you dreamed" from the song Arise by Flyleaf.

Becca: Good job, now the story...

Dallas: Gosh, rein in your ponies.

Becca: Rein my-

Dallas: The story behind it is the year 2009 and all it's ups and downs. With Generose, losing friends, fights, just the worst and the tears, oh the tears that were shed could fill all of East Battle Lake!

Becca: Now tell them what Dad said..

Dallas: Wha-oh. He said "I will not support the idea of you getting a tattoo."

Becca: And what did we do?

Dallas: Shook our fists and jutted our jaws!

Becca: Good, but keep your head held high, Dal. We'll get it soon enough.

Dallas: But what about those lame people out there who copy other people's ideas?

Becca: Easy, copy my ink and I'll skin them (:

Dallas: Absolutely barbaric.

Becca: You love it.
