I’m 17 and I’ve been through a lot this past year, being in a mental hospital for 6 weeks for things in my past that are being acknowledged now. I’m going to get my second tattoo when I decide where I want it.

My first tattoo says ‘Alis Volat Propriis’ which means she flies with her own wings, going down my left arm

This tattoo means a lot to me because I cut this into the same arm at my lowest point, before a suicide attempt. To me that tattoo represents independence and how only I can make myself better.

My next tattoo I want to get is to represent my past and moving forward. I want Bansky’s Girl & balloon with a quote from thriving ivory’s “Hey Lady” “Don’t give up on me, don’t burn your heart out love

This tattoo, to me represents losing the ability to love at a weak point in your life, which I lost the ability to love myself, and you know how the saying goes “You can’t love someone else, until you love yourself.” I believe from may until two weeks ago was my weakest point. And the girl is reaching out for it, which for me symbolizes my treatment, and me trying to make myself better, and gaining control of my life again. It also symbolizes loss of innocence, which relates to me because I was raped when I was 12, grew up with an abusive stepfather with a neglectful mother, I was quite promiscuous growing up, and abused numerous drugs and alcohol. It also symbolizes growing up, which I never planned on doing, considering I made a suicide pact with myself when I was 12 that I would kill myself by 18. Now I’m ready to try. I think it symbolizes letting go too, I need to let go of my past in order to live a full and happy life. The quote also means a lot to me, I found Thriving Ivory a couple days before every thing started happening, and Hey Lady represent my teacher who’s been supporting me from Day 1 of all this.

So my question is where should I get this tattooed? I’m leaning towards my chest, I want it somewhere visible, any suggestions?
Here’s a picture of me if it helps

Thank you in advance (:
Thank you guys. (:

I can’t really do feet, although I like the idea, because of the quote :/ I want it somewhere so the world can basically see where I’ve been, and where I’m going.

Alis Volat Propriis is latin (:
