I've lived with this tattoo on my body for 30 years and it in no way reflects who I am or what I believe. It's the opposite actually. It's a difficult story for me to tell, but it is my story. I came from a traumatic and abusive childhood, my mother left when I was 14. I was then kidnapped and trafficked. I was forced my marry the man that raped me when I was 15, just a few days after my 15th birthday actually. I lived with him in a school bus in backwoods Oklahoma, where I was abused by him and his friends. I managed to escape with my daughter when 17. This is one of the many tattoos they did on me. I went on to have many more abusive relationships after that.

I have not been ready or able to face my past before now. After many years of counseling and more importantly, psychedelic therapy, I'm ready to close that chapter of my past. I cannot do that with this tattoo on my body. I've spent my life hiding it, even from own children.

I'm looking for ideas for what's reasonable as a cover up, I do realize it will be quite large. Please not a panther 🙏. I would love if it could be turned into something beautiful. I love anything floral or nature related. I'm looking for a kind and non judgemental artist in Texas or New Mexico.

Not so fun fact:

Child marriage is still legal in 33 states in the United States of America, in 2026. I was married off to an adult man when I was a 14 year old child, in New Mexico, in 1997.
