Cristina’s tattoo is a small script (a tattoo with writing) piece on her wrist that reads “Take Care”.
Cristina was candid in describing the origin of her first and only tattoo, “The initial reason behind getting it was to remember a difficult time in my life. During this time, Hip Hop and R&B artist Drake, released an album titled 'Take Care.' The album title itself symbolizes pride in one’s work. The saying 'take care' is often thrown around lightly in conversations and we forget its true meaning. Take Care. To me this simple saying is a reminder that no matter what I may be working on or doing in life I should always “take care” of the product rather than getting it done quickly with poor quality. If something requires my attention I should give it my all. This album also helped me find understanding in my pain and allowed me to grow through it. It is a constant reminder of a period in my life where I truly needed to take care of myself. I am the type of person who constantly helps and puts others before myself. From the time I was a young child even until now my mother has always told me I should begin to put myself first. My tattoo is a symbol of just that.”
She got her tattoo done at the 1603 Tattoo Studio in Ybor, Florida and plans on getting one or two more personal tattoos.
She summed up her personal feelings on tattoos at the end of our interview; “I believe tattoos are personal, may they be for expression, art, or simply even for fun. Something so permanent must contain meaning no matter what it may be.” Below, you can listen to my radio commercial that I prepared for my class. Enjoy!
