4. Two Inspirations:

On her arm, she has the images of Lauryn Hill and Frida Kahlo (an iconic Mexican artist/feminist) on her. These two women are her biggest inspirations since she got them inked on her body.

5. ”Today Is The Best Day Ever”

This term is tatted on her calf. The day she was inked with it, could have been “the best day ever for her,” it could also be a reminder to whoever reads it that every day is a good day.
