Description

This is my first tattoo which I got done today! I love it, I can't stop looking at the photo! It only took an hour and a half from start to finish which is great :)

The design has a lot of meaning behind it. It's a memorial for a friend who died a few months ago and I think she'd approve of it if she could see it now.

The peacock feather symbolises how physically beautiful she was, how outgoing and bright and fun. The more subtle meaning stemming from Buddhist symbolism is being careful of your actions.

'Hakuna Matata' is obviously from Disney's Lion King which was one of her favourite films and pretty much sums up her philosophy of life. Hakuna Matata translates literally from Swahili as 'There are no worries here'.

I love it. I'm so glad I got it done :)
