Granted \u2013 all my tattoos are of plants, animals, or atoms \u2013 I really like being able to express myself with tattoos. I feel comfortable in my tattooed skin.

The classic \u201catom\u201d image was always so cool to me. I decided that I wanted that as my first tattoo. Six years later \u2013 it happened! I got this tattoo while living in Montana.

On the 4th of July 2011, my brother, his now husband, and I decided to get tattoos! We each got separate tattoos but it was really fun sharing that experience with my brother! I got hops (<i>Humulus lupulus<\/i>) because I had been really into brewing beer at that time and I think the hops plant is beautiful. BONUS! We got a discount if we wore mustaches to the tattoo shop so my brother-in-law made us clay mustaches on a stick. Pictured: fresh hops, me and one of the tattoo artists with our mustaches, and me and my brother on Bernal Heights Park. P.S. the tattoo is on my chest.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0cm 0cm 10pt\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Default Alt text\" class=\"center\" data-file_info=\"%7B%22fid%22:%228094%22,%22view_mode%22:%22default%22,%22fields%22:%7B%22format%22:%22default%22,%22field_file_image_alt_text%5Bund%5D%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D%22:%22Default%20Alt%20text%22,%22field_file_image_title_text%5Bund%5D%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D%22:%22Default%20Title%20Text%22,%22field_image_tags%5Bund%5D%5Btextfield%5D%22:%22%22,%22field_image_tags%5Bund%5D%5Bvalue_field%5D%22:%22%5C%22%5C%22%5C%22%5C%22%22%7D,%22type%22:%22media%22%7D\" src=\"http:\/\/insights.cactusglobal.com\/sites\/default\/files\/2_18.jpg\" style=\"\" title=\"Default Title Text\" \/><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Default Alt text\" class=\"center\" data-file_info=\"%7B%22fid%22:%228095%22,%22view_mode%22:%22default%22,%22fields%22:%7B%22format%22:%22default%22,%22field_file_image_alt_text%5Bund%5D%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D%22:%22Default%20Alt%20text%22,%22field_file_image_title_text%5Bund%5D%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D%22:%22Default%20Title%20Text%22,%22field_image_tags%5Bund%5D%5Btextfield%5D%22:%22%22,%22field_image_tags%5Bund%5D%5Bvalue_field%5D%22:%22%5C%22%5C%22%5C%22%5C%22%22%7D,%22type%22:%22media%22%7D\" src=\"http:\/\/insights.cactusglobal.com\/sites\/default\/files\/3_11.jpg\" style=\"\" title=\"Default Title Text\" \/>\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Default Alt text\" class=\"center\" data-file_info=\"%7B%22fid%22:%228096%22,%22view_mode%22:%22default%22,%22fields%22:%7B%22format%22:%22default%22,%22field_file_image_alt_text%5Bund%5D%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D%22:%22Default%20Alt%20text%22,%22field_file_image_title_text%5Bund%5D%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D%22:%22Default%20Title%20Text%22,%22field_image_tags%5Bund%5D%5Btextfield%5D%22:%22%22,%22field_image_tags%5Bund%5D%5Bvalue_field%5D%22:%22%5C%22%5C%22%5C%22%5C%22%22%7D,%22type%22:%22media%22%7D\" src=\"http:\/\/insights.cactusglobal.com\/sites\/default\/files\/4_47.jpg\" style=\"\" title=\"Default Title Text\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0cm 0cm 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">In 2013, after more than 2 years without a new tattoo, I decided it was time for a new one.
