Boldly planted on her upper right arm, Michelle explained that she paraphrased and pared down a longer quotation to read, more simply, "Live for the moments that take your breath away". I believe she was referring to the saying, "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
The flowers in the photo are cherry blossoms that were done in blue, rather than the traditional pink because, as Michelle tells it, she's "not really a pink kind of girl".
This tattoo was inked by Fat Tony at Hobo's Tattoo Shop in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
Thanks to Michelle for sharing this tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
