A Mother's Love

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," this is what Jessika said when I interviewed her. 

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. A friendship tattoo, which is a butterfly tattoo (located on her right wrist) that both her and her best-friend have to symbolize their deep and enduring friendship, the name on her youngest child on her right ankle, and the birthstone colored flowers on her back. Funny story on the birthstone flowers lol. 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. She plans on getting the tattoo of her oldest daughter's name again really soon.


She really changed my perspectives on tattoos. Before this interview, I thought tattoos were for badasses, cholos, gangsters, etc. But now I can also see that tattoos are also used by people with a heart. By someone her 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.
