My Beauty and the Beast tattoo :)
When I was growing up, I had no friends. I was weird and had social anxiety, so every day instead of playing with my friends after school I would watch The Little Mermaid. Ariel was everything I wanted to be - adventurous, strong willed, spontaneous. The songs and stories told about Ariel were able to distract me from the fact that I had no one to hang out with in my spare time, and she made me want to change the person I felt myself becoming (not to mention she is gorgeous). Even in my adult life, I tend to live inside my safe little world where I can weigh the risks and stick to my routine. That is no way to live, and my shoulder piece is a way to remind me to try new things and to be adventurous and to put it all on the line for things I’m passionate about. This tattoo is beautiful and I couldn’t be more pleased with it!
pocahontas & john smith (:
Pocahontas was like the first Disney “princess” i ever liked when i was little. my hair use to be long like hers too and when my mom would take me out places people would say how much i looked like a little Pocahontas lol. i didnt like white Disney princesses. they always made me feel like i wanted/had to be white to be pretty. i wish Disney would have done more ethnic princesses when i was little (: im glad there finally working on it tho lol
Jasmine is the shit. Simple as that.

This is my Ariel. I’ve wanted an Ariel tattoo since I knew what a tattoo was, I just didn’t expect her to be so beautiful! She took four hours and I have to admit is was one of the greatest days ever, Gemma at Cherrys Tattoos in Hornchurch, London slaved away at her and made her perfect! This was taken about 5 minutes after we finished for the day. I’m booked in again on the 15th November to have her coloured. I can’t wait to go back, partly to finish off Ariel and partly because everyone there is so much fun and so lovely!
As a young boy I was captivated (although possibly coaxed by my mother) by Belle. Sat in front of the television most days after school watching Beauty and the Beast. Anyone who has grown up watching Disney movies can understand her special characteristics that set her apart, and I would say above, the rest. (Her intelligence and nonjudgemental demeanor)
The nostalgia I achieve while watching this film is powerful and permanent.
