SAVAGE, MD -- 10/31/13 -- Monica Bullard, 47, grew up in Silver Spring, but now lives in Oakland, CA, is a legal nurse consultant at a San Francisco law firm. "For me tattoos mean art and peace. I had my son's name put on my arm to remind me how much I love him and so he would always be with me. Once I had "Blaine" on my right forearm I could see a blank canvas around that tattoo that seemed to be asking to be filled with art. I wanted designs that brought me peace. I took a few months finding the right artist and asked him to create flowing images based on repetition and shapes that occur in nature. Then I let him create! When I look at my sleeve tattoo I feel love, peace, and beauty."
