Emily's tattoo...

"I got my tattoo because of my unyielding beliefs of peace and interdependence.  It is a simple, exquisite symbol of peace.  As a social work student who works for a non-profit organization, I meet people on a daily basis from all walks of life.  I learn so much from them; we have a give and take relationship.  We depend on each other to be givers of peace.  We are our brother and sister's keeper.   Additionally, I wanted my crane to be a reminder of peace within the self.  A paper crane is only a piece of paper, a simple object manipulated in to beauty, my tattoo is also an ode to creativity.  As for the design of the tattoo, it is a custom design, I haven't seen any identical to it.  I just wanted clean, black lines to create a simple, humble image."
