The meaning behind my new and first ever tattoo


My new tattoo! and my first ever!

This last year and a half has been difficult to say the least. Through some bad decisions of my own as well as events beyond my control, a lot has happened both good and bad.

For you who know the details and have been there for me I can't thank you enough. I would not have made it through these last few months without you. I love all of you.
Here is the chorus to the song by one of my all time favorite bands, Killswitch Engage, behind my choice of tattoo:

Through adversity, there is redemption
With passion, fighting
I am unbroken.

I have the words adversity and redemption on my chest, I will be getting passion and fighting on my inner biceps or down the back of my arm, and then will be getting I am unbroken with a design on my back.

This song has spoken to me and means so much to me with what has gone on in my life. I have dealt with adversity, and through passion and fighting back, I am unbroken.

As I go to Pennsylvania in August to begin work on my MFA, I am going to use my passion for art to fight being broken and will come through a stronger, better woman.

Thank you all,

court


UNBROKEN,
Killswitch Engage

Go!
Forever falling, Into oblivion
The darkness crawls forward
It engulfs, my will to live
Fear is failure
And this is my motivation

Take back what was stolen
Reclaim all that's lost
With virtue, I will rise up from the ruins

C'mon!
Through adversity, there is redemption
With passion, fighting
I am unbroken
Through adversity, there is redemption
With passion, fighting
I am unbroken!

Take back what was stolen
Embrace the cycle
Refuse to turn back now and be led astray
Fear is failure
And this is my affirmation

Through adversity, there is redempton
with passion, fighting
I am unbroken
Through adversity, there is redemption
with passion, fighting
I am unbroken!

The absense of fear, is the renewal of ourself
The absence of doubt, breeds desire
If there is truth to face
I will design it
I will not be denied!
I will not be denied!
