#8 This Is Tanya. She Is An ER Nurse From SoCal. Last Year She Came To Me To Get Her First Tattoo Ever...on Her Head

She told me that she had developed alopecia, lost all her hair and that she was finally ready and happy to reclaim a bit of her identity back and own her Alopecia. Last week she came back for session 2 and we did this flower on the other side of her head. One of my favorite days. Thank you Tanya!!
