Liz Adams, a model from Maple Shade, NJ, has several tattoos. Her father got her interested in tattoos and goes usually goes with her when she gets another one. She has gotten most of her tattoos, except the ones her friends have done, at Sick Creations in West Deptford.
She says, “Most of my tattoos represent peace and love. My wrists, which have ‘paix et amour’, the French words for peace and love, are pretty self-explanatory as well as the peace sign heart and smiley face on my hand. My hand tattoo was also done by one of my best friends, who is an aspiring artist, so it’s like a best friend tattoo for us. The bat wings on my lower back is the beginning of my back piece and was the first tattoo I ever go. The butterfly on my ankle was extremely spontaneous and I got it when my dad got my name tattooed on him. My chest piece represents peace by the doves, and the rose for my middle name. It is no where near finished.”
“I have my whole body planned out,” she says, “Don’t ever let someone talk you out of a tattoo or influence your decision about it. It is your body do as you please.”
