Jessica
Story: My tattoo is sort of a Lord of the Rings hodgepodge - I have the White Tree of Gondor, along with the line "not all those who wander are lost", which is a line from the Riddle Of Strider, Aragorn's identifying poem. It pays homage to Middle Earth which I'm head over heels for and my favorite character from the world, plus the tree is gorgeous and something I knew I would never tire of. As for the line, it's paramount to Aragorn's journey in the books, and I find his journey - and Aragorn himself - admirable beyond belief. It's also a sweet reminder that life isn't a strict path, and that everyone has potential in them. Usually I just say I have a Tolkien tat to avoid being sentimental though. ;)
Thanks for sharing your tattoo and being our tattooed guest, Jessica!
