I've been thinking a lot about my tattoo today. I was asked this morning what it means, and it was quite difficult to answer that question because to me it means so many different things. It symbolises my love of the stars, and my belief that because galaxies are made up of galaxies which were here before which died and created new ones, effectively everything around us is made up of something that was there before. This in turn symbolises my belief that the people we love are always with us in some way, even if they are no longer alive, because the earth that they were buried in has gone on to support new life, and one day maybe the planet we live on and the solar systems around it will die and create something new and possibly even more beautiful.
I'm sorry about this seemingly random philosophical post. I'm aware that it's much deeper than anything I would usually write here, but I suppose I'm just in that kind of mood today.
On a lighter note, this lovely photo was taken literally seconds after my tattoo was finished by my beautiful best friend Laura.
