Many people bond with friends or relatives in a variety of ways. I chose a way that will make sure out bond stands the test of time. A tattoo is for a life time and the bond that I have with Angela is a surely to last until our dying day. Here's a little about how it all began.

Angela and I have been best friends since birth, we've always had the dream to have matching tattoos an always be there when one got a new tattoo. Well finally on February 14, 2013 we decided to start getting our tattoos together an ever since then we have done that. On September 13, 2013 we had made a spontaneous decision to go get our matching tattoos finally. We went through so many designs before we finally picked the right one. We got a key with the word "honesty" written in the middle of it. The meaning behind our tattoo is that honesty is the key to your heart because without honesty there is nothing there. They resemble a part of our life's together and will always be able to look down at our arms and have that part of each other no matter where we are in life.

Lexi

Trying to describe the bond between me and my cousin isn't as easy as you'd think. Lexi and I grew up together as kids and now we do everything together. We're only 2 months apart so we have a lot in common. She and I are like sisters, cousins, best friends, and partners in crime all in one. She's my family and my closest friend; I wouldn't trade our bond for the world. You know you're close to someone when you can just look at them and know exactly what they're saying and how they're feeling!

We've gotten tattoos together 5 times now and each one has a meaning. The first time we got a tattoo together was on Valentine's Day 2013. We were both single and decided to just spend the day together doing girl stuff, and getting tattoos happened to be part of it. One of the times, which were the most recent, we both decided to get family tattoos because family is everything to us. One of my favorite times was when we got our matching honesty tattoos. Not only do we love getting tattooed together but we love being a part of the Tatted Bombshells. Being tattoo models together is a blast, especially when the whole group is together.
