Long time readers of my blog might better understand why I was so excited about such a simple tattoo, and it wasn’t just me who got tattooed either; oh no, I dragged my Mum along for the ride after she made a promise last year. So simple, it serves as a reminder, a motivator and a memoriam all in one.
I opted for the brightest colours possible to make the occasion. I have a love/hate relationship with these Zara trousers. I utterly adore them BUT they make me feel so insecure about my legs simply because they draw so much attention to them.
But really,
that doesn’t matter. Not any one of us is defined by how much we weigh, what size clothes we wear or what we look like. And I’m still on my personal mission to leave that behind.
You know what?
I really believe I will.
(it is straight btw, it’s impossibly hard to photograph your own wrist)

Love the tattoo ! If it means something to you then go for it. I’ve got a couple of my own and each one was done to mark a significant event/something important in my life. I’ve been following your blog for a while now (just lurked – blush!) but I think you’re an inspiration and one very determined lady xx The trousers look fab by the way !
amazing tatoo, simple but beautiful!

I think those trousers look great on you…I really wanted a pair, but again, also insecure about bringing that much attention to my legs 😛 silly!

Such a simple tattoo, but has so much meaning behind it. I love it.

I love your tattoo 🙂
I’ve got one on the outside of my wrist (running up my forearm) which says “Ad astra”, meaning “to the stars” (short for “perseverance through adversity to the stars”). Like you I got mine for a bit of inspiration! X
Your tattoo is so lovely. I hope it does inspire you everyday:) xx
I am so proud of you and I love you so much, so glad that I can call you my friend!

Love your top I love how you always wear such bright colours x

I think it’s really sweet and lovely how it means a lot to you. i like the font too! Would it be a silly question to ask if it hurt a lot?
The pink bottoms really suit you, they look perfect for summery days.
oh my, i hate anyone touching my wrists, theres no way i’d get them tatooed!! it’s cool that your mum went with you though!
the tattoo is nice, and it’s a constant reminder I think which is inspiring 😀
Such a brilliant word to get tattooed on your wrist, I love it. And those Zara trousers are fantastic, and though I know it may mean nothing, you look great in them. Lovely post Laura. xxx
Laura, you have the most covetable legs ever! If I can be comfortable showing my legs and they’re about double the size of yours, then you’ve got to be able to be happy with what you’ve got 🙂 those trousers are fab. Glad you’re so happy with that tattoo!

I adore your tattoo. I think it is really sweet and meaningful that you got one with your mom.
My mom and I also have the same tattoo, although we got ours during different times in different states. 😛
Your tattoo looks great! As does your outfit!
Love it! It’s a simple word, but it has alot of meaning and the style of writing is timeless!
As for your outfit, you really pull it off! Loving the bright colour combo.
That is perfect and beautiful.
I can’t believe you and your mum have matching tatts! That is so crazy/cute. And you look awesome in the pink troos. x

It’s perfect for you Laura 🙂
And by it I mean the tattoo, although the pink jeans are totally you too.
Agree with Alex, it’s perfect, a constant reminder of how far you’ve come and how far you can still go 🙂 xx
I love your tattoo! My sister had one recently too and I’ thinking of having one too, just don’t know what to yet.
My friend has these trousers and you look gorgeous in them. I think the tattoo is brilliant – and mines on my wrist too! Xx
Well done… seriously so impressed by you. I’ve loved checking your blog and seeing how you are doing. You are such a great example to other girls.
I love the tattoos. Totally fitting and such an exciting landmark. xx
I think your tat is great, I understand why it means so much! Now in all honesty did it hurt? lol! I am a total whimp at the thought of pain, but I would really love a tattoo, my hubby has quite a few and I really like them.

It’s so simple that it just has to be important.
oh oh a tattoo! how was the pain? I’m planning on getting my first tattoo in about a month!
this is lovely. I love the simplicity of it deary. I know I’m covered in them almost head to toe but I really like how this looks, and has a very big meaning without being to large of a piece. I think it suits you perfectly.
