Name: Christina Felix
Age: Currently 23 and I got this tattoo less than a year ago.

I had the tattoo done with my mother. It's by Tony Olvera at Lady Luck Tattoo Gallery. My mother is the most amazing person to me -- she has gone through many hardships and through them I have learned a lot from her.

We decided after a girls trip from Las Vegas to get a matching tattoo that represents us and our freedom as women and to always remember who we are no matter what is thrown at us.

I got this tattoo on the inner part of my arm because I wanted to make sure I could always see it!

Next Tattoo? I have many in mind, eventually I am getting a portrait of my mom on my arm ( she doesn't know it yet).

Know of any interesting marks? Send us your photos/submissions.
