A Mother's Love (REVISED)

Jessika Espinoza, a 28 year old mother of two daughters, has so much love and appreciation for her daughters. A love so strong that Jessika would get her daughters' birthstone color on her back. 

                         "Tattoos are like a memory saved on your body. I always want to remember my daughters while I'm at work or when they aren't with me" 

Jessika is like every other normal person we see day by day. She's around 5'4, with long brown hair with highlights. Or dyed hair, I really can't tell the difference from the two. She's a mother of two and works hard to give her daughters a good life. What I got from her is that she loves her daughters a lot. Before interviewing her, I saw the she talks to her daughters like a friend would talk to a friend. Playful talks and jokes.

Jessika only has three tattoos in total. But we're just going to talk about a specific one. Two huge flowers right next to each other on the left side of her upper back. Both flowers filled in with the color of her daughters' birthstones. The flower to the left is filled in with blue in and right next to that flower, the other flower had purple ink. Funny story on the birthstone colored in flowers. Before ever getting that tattoo, she had the name of her oldest daughter there. She went with a friend's friend to get that tattoo and she wasn't really fond of how it came out so she covered that tattoo with the one she currently has lol. Now, we can talk about the other two tattoos she has. Jessika has a friendship butterfly tattoo on her right wrist. She also has the name of her youngest daughter on her right ankle.She plans on getting the tattoo of her oldest daughter's name again really soon.

                  "Never regret anything you get."


"Tattoos are for druggies, cholos, and gangsters."

She really changed my perspectives on tattoos. I've always been told that tattoos were for badasses, cholos, gangsters, etc. That tattoos are for bad people. No one that is good gets tattoos. I also heard that if you get a tattoo you'll most likely go to jail. I realized those were just assumption and peoples opinions. But now after this interview i realized everyone can get them. Good or "bad" people. Tattoos come from the heart and no where else.  Tattoos are used by someone who cares. People who never want to forget a memorable event or memorable person in their life. Now I see everyone with a tattoo like I see everyone else. A normal person.
