Post 10: Colleague's Symbols

I read two blogs that stood out to me about symbol and thought they were similar, yet abstract with their meaning. Both blogs happened to feature tattoos as the symbols that are permanently displayed and their meanings for each person.
 #Blacksharptalk  posted by Howard was titled, "My tattoos are what I carry and it symbolizes my life". I thought this was very touching to know that he chose to document his life experiences permanently on his body as a testament. I think that is brave, and shows that he is proud and has no regrets, and chooses to learn and remember all things, good or bad.
 Imani's blog talked about her tattoo which serves as a motivational tool whenever she may be down. She has set her goal and at any time if she should become discouraged or suffer any setbacks, she can look at her wrist and remember, she's a queen.
