The Significance of an Olive

(Providence, Rhode Island)

Well I have four tattoos. Three home made ugly ones from when I was 14. My pride and joy is my recycled heart on my left breast. It represents going through bad relationships and making it out a better person. It shows the circle of being reduced, used and recycled.

I have 2 half inch plugs in my right ear. Can't have any in my right because I had 2 1/2 inches there before and it turned into a keloid. I used to have more piercings, but I either outgrew them, had to remove them, or they got ripped out.

I'll be getting my nipples pierced again, and a sailboat on my back. I've been sailing half my life because of my father who lives on a sailboat.
