Description
My little brother got me these for my birthday. I love them!________________________________________________
Story behind these tattoo, if anyone cares to know.
I have had issues with my knees and lower legs for 15y/o now.
Since I started getting pretty bad I use to say "Just cut them off, right about here, just cut them off" I made a motion with my hand across where the tattoos are on my leg.
I kept this feeling of hate for my legs, crippled with joint pain and sever nerve neuropathy, until I met the man who cared enough to get through the surgeries and the help with my pain and treatments.
After that I set my heart on these tattoos. It is a symbol that I have excepted my legs how they are and I am willing to work on helping them instead of wishing them gone. There will always be a open wound between me any my legs (that is why the stitches are not fully closed) but in my mind I have reattached what I had cut off and hated so much. These are my legs...
Crippled and painful, but mine!
I will live life with a can do not can't do.
This is a symbol of that.

I like them. I do tattoos and that seems like something my boyfriend would do. He's a paraplegic and he always says "just cut em off so I don't have so much to drag around!"

I have severe burning chronic nerve pain in all the skin below my breasts so I can relate. I'm gonna do a tattoo for it too: [link]
I'm gonna put it on the side of my thigh, where the pain is worst. I hope I can take that pain though. doing my left arm now and it sure is painful. have to bite down on a rope when he tattoo my elbow.

I am a dork, I love that response to some one who is sorry for me. I love me, most of the time, but not feeling sorry, pity, and why me's kinda cripple. No CAN'T do always CAN do!
But I love these symbolic images, my disease are part of who I am, but just not always make it a distraction to get me through the hard time. Just sit and look while I am bad pain. I just have to remember that the pain is not disabling me from going/doing anything else can do. Sadly I use it to be lazy too.
Ok, I don't know if that relates to anything in yer comment. but it made me feel good to do it.
Thanks again!

Wow, I am sorry to hear about your battle with your legs, but I am glad to hear that you have started to accept them, the tattoo is really awesome, and I love that it has a story that you can share to go with it. I think getting a tattoo just to ink yourself is lame-even if it's as cool as this.
Kudos!
