tatted up.

pleased with my recent addition to my tattoos.
on a whim i went out with a friend and got the short phrase, "move forward" tattooed to my right shoulder. loves it.

i wanted a reminder to not dwell in the past. hence, i want to move forward. pretty simple, i guess. haha.

as long as i'm sharing my ink, i thought i'd post the rest of my tattoos.

the left tattoo on my neck is the character for my last name, cai. i am proud of my chinese heritage, and i think the character is beautiful. i did a post on this one a long time ago, the placement was inspired by freja beha.
the right is the first tattoo i ever had done. it's a quote by benjamin franklin, spoken in the context of politics but i translate it to many other aspects of my life. relationships, my spirituality.. it was originally a reminder to stay true to myself and my independence when it comes to relationships.

my last tattoo is on the inside of my left arm. it's the first part of psalm 34:18. i got this one done two years ago when i was living up in michigan, when i was rediscovering my relationship with God. this one is meant to be a reminder that when i am going through hard things that God is there, and He cares about me.

plan to get a few more. i just love them!! and they're all incredibly meaningful to me.
what tattoos do you have??

all the best,
