meaningful tattoo

to me, this is the sickest tattoo i have ever seeeennn!!! its my friend janelle's and she loves photography, hence the film that scrolls down her side, with encripted images that mean a lot to her for there own special reasons. for example, the sears tower is for chicago which resembles her love for the city. The cherry blossoms are the signature of her tattoo artist, Ian Cherry. She has a scenery above it for her hometown, Venice, Florida. Then, there is an image of her father's first motorcycle, and then images of dreamcatchers and a wolf to represent her mother's love for them. Above that is a pyramid which shows her sister's love for egyptian history. An image of a flower is used to show her love for religion since the flower is shaped as a cross. Then, the word love is shown backwards to show the inversion of the film. There is a palm tree and a beach setting to show where she came from, and the sears tower in chicago to show where she wants to go. Finally, there is an upright bass that she played in the orchestra at her school and for 5 years, as well as her favorite instrument, a bass guitar. Pretty interesting, huh?
