How i Earned My Wings.....

How I earned my wings… When I was a little girl everyone I was really close to would call me there little angel. Through life when bad shit happened to me, I always thought of the people around me who called me there angel and would tell my self that “I was earning my wings”. I felt that something was testing me and would continue to test me until I reach the stage where I would know in life when I have earned my wings. I won’t go into the ins and out but I have been through some really hard shit in the 20years I have been around. This whole concept of earning my wings, kept me strong and determined. My stars as I mentioned before symbolise the troubles I have been through and overcome. Anyone who hasn’t read my explanation of my stars it is a pretty basic concept. That the stars that are double lined, I have someone else’s support to help me overcome that trouble, the stars that are bolder than the others were really bad times that lasted longer and took me more time to overcome. However I digress… Hence at a young age I got my small stars tattooed on me, simple but meaningful. As I knew that one day I would have wings tattooed on my back. The beginning of this year I had a major car accident. Professionals tell me I shouldn’t still be alive. I was on the motorway(highway) when another car made me swerve to miss her hitting me that my car lost control, went through all the lanes and through the motorway(highway) barrier. I went down at 20ft verge of wooded area. When the ambulance crew got there, they refused to put me in a car ambulance as I was that critical they needed to get me to a hospital fast and with least movement. I had a helicopter land on the motorway (highway) and air lift me down the country to the most suitable hospital to deal with my injuries. My injuries included broken hip, broken wrist, broken collar bone, and last but not least I broke the first vertebrae in my spine. If that bone moved a millimetre I could be paralysed of dead. The next issue was my brain had swelled up, so they had to put a probe in my head to monitor my brain. This was the most horrific things I have ever been through. I was told I would be in that hospital for 4 months. I got out after 7 days, 4 of them was unconscious in intensive care. I started full time work 2 months after and here I am now 6months later. After this ordeal I knew that I had earned my wings. If there was something I couldn’t survive then that would have been it, but I did and that’s why I had my Latin writing put on first to mark the achievement. My wings I am still designing and creating and saving for. They will be the one of the most special things in this world to me, apart from Shaun. That explains how I earned my wings….any questions feel free to email or reply to this. Thought that you guys deserved and explanation. x

Ok thanks for that! How ya doin?...TAz

By the way Baker got yert pic and he will get it up shortly.

Hey Im good Thankyou! Woohoo my pic will be up soon, so you can put a face to my posts :)

Melissa, I think this and your previous post should make some folks reconsider their earlier post about you. I know I personally think of you in a much different way. Obviously you are not the fickle, hot-bod empty head I think some of us first thought. I'm the old, former biker who chuckled over what 'earning your wings' used to mean, forgive my mistake as it seems there is indeed a deep and personal meaning to what YOU mean and, personally, while it may not be 'novel', in your case, I think it shows a LOT of thought, is not a simple case of copying someone else's idea and I only hope you research real good and have someone very good do the actual tattoo. Seems there indeed IS more to you than youth and a hot little body and I, for one, am impressed. Thanks for telling us How you earned your wings, I think you earned 'em too. Too bad you live so damn far away, I'd give you a special price for that tattoo and I'd bet my thumbs I could/would give you a set of wings that would rock the socks off the pickiest. I'm good and with the added inspiration of what they mean, that would be a 'fun' tattoo to do (no funny stuff meant) And I'd personally like to welcome you to our 'Family', our first Brit!..Doc

Melissa...One thing I want you to think about...the wings sound great but really think about getting anymore on your front torso-belly area...I have seen so many beautiful tattoos done in that area that were just ruined because of the adverse reaction of chilbirth...If I were you I'd wait til I was past the age for bearing children before I considered getting anything else tattooed in that area...just food for thought kiddo!...TAz

"I know I personally think of you in a much different way" I appreciate the fact that you have reconsidered the way you think about me, i said give me time and i will show you i am different, i really am. "I only hope you research real good and have someone very good do the actual tattoo." I have been interested in wings since forever so have always looked at the imagary in much depth (not knowing at that age it would turn into a tattoo). I have some clear ideas of a very detailed custom piece, i am hoping to now do my research into who i will allow to draw up and tattoo it for me. "Thanks for telling us How you earned your wings, I think you earned 'em too." That means alot to me, that really does. So, Thankyou :) "Too bad you live so damn far away, I'd give you a special price for that tattoo and I'd bet my thumbs I could/would give you a set of wings that would rock the socks off the pickiest. " This tattoo means so much that i cant find anyone in the UK who i am happy with i would fly to wherever inthe world to get it, as ive said before it will be one of the most special things in the world to me, money would be no object it has to be perfect and i wont accept any less. So you never know i could be asking of your services :) "really think about getting anymore on your front torso-belly area" To be totally honest, i was realy up for getting more on my front. After reading on here from all you guys i have re considered and wont be getting any more on my torso/tummy area. Thankyou :) Thankyou for both reading my post, it means alot. :) x
