Hoot

I am 50% Australian. The ancient Australians consider the owl sacred. They believe that when a female passes on, her spirit is repossessed by an owl. This is where the saying "An owl is your sister and your sister is an owl" comes from. The owl represents strong wise females. My father left when I was two years old and I was raised in a household that consisted of my mom, grandmother, and sister. It is safe to say that I know a thing or two about strong females. Owls have always been very special to me ever since I was very little. Many kids have a new favorite animal every other day, for the past 19 years my favorite has always been an owl. I have a half sleeve tattoo on my upper arm that consists of a brightly colored owl sitting in a tree. The owl has big bright eyes and is very detailed. The owl also has a small pink flower on her to give it a little feminine flare. I believe that this owl is a great representation of myself. Owls tend to sit up high and watch their surroundings. I believe this can be related to how I like to sit back and watch the world. Owls are a very determined species and some species of owls are considered to be some of the strongest birds. If it wasn't for my strong, wise, determined mother and grandmother, I don't think I would be the person I am today.
