This tattoo , although my smallest tattoo , means the most to me . As an 18 year old kid , I was very well on my way to killing myself by 19 , be it drugs, alcohol , or just whatever I had the whim for that day.  One day , I woke up and my life changed , completely .   I found out I was pregnant , with my daughter , Jimanie ( like Jiminey Cricket).  Being pregnant, I stopped my self destructive habits immediately.  I fell in love with my baby, and when she was born , I named her Jimanie Jasper (her father picked that) Rain.  This “cricket” is actually a grasshopper that was on her very first outfit (she happened to be born a preemie and when I sent my mother to buy her a preemie outfit she knew immediately this was the outfit for our lil cricket) .  The symbol above the cricket means “rain”.  In every way this tattoo defines me as a mother, how I was reborn to no longer care about myself , but let my world revolve around my “lifesaver”
