fuckyeahtattoos:

The story behind this tattoo is pretty simple.  Anyone who knows me know that I suffer from relatively severe anxiety, in addition to panic attacks.  I had decided awhile ago that I had wanted to get an anxiety related tattoo but I didn’t know what or where.  Then, a couple days ago the words “deep breath” came into my head.  I originally was just going to get that with “deep” on one knee and “breath” on the other, but it didn’t quite seem… finished I guess you could say.  I kinda put the idea on the back burner and then a couple hours later I thought of the “you’re okay”… I started doodling and playing around with font and then the heart idea came to mind.  I immediately fell in love with the idea and it wasn’t long after that did I call and make an appointment to get it done the next day… and I did!

The tattoo is on my knees so I can still see it if I’m sitting down.  I chose my knees because I more often than not sit/lay in the fetal position when I’m having an attack or if I’m getting really anxious, so the placement in my opinion is perfect.

I love this so much.
