Vancouver Ink: Yasmien Mills' first tattoo... at the age of 39

Vancouver Ink exposes you (and your friends') Vancouver-themed tattoos! We have an obvious fascination with pride-of-place and how it manifests, and getting a tattoo showing your pride and love for something is perhaps the ultimate commitment.

Today we're sharing Yasmien Mills' piece that she sent in.

Yasmien is from Vancouver but moved to London, Ontario. From there, she writes:

I got my very first tattoo, at the age of 39, when I was in Vancouver a couple of weeks ago. We went to Adrenaline on 4th and Mike helped me combine all the things I love into the art below:

At the root is the symbol for Virgo, as my husband and I are both Virgos. Growing out of it is a cherry blossom (for Vancouver, of course) and blossoming from the tree is an S for my daughter Samantha, and a K for my daughter Kendra.

Vancouver IS awesome...and I miss it everyday xx

Thanks,

Yasmien Mills
