Meet Frankie!
"I want to get a tattoo of like a sketched tornado and I was thinking of getting it on my ankle.
Basically the store behind this is when I was younger and throughout my school age years I would find myself doodling and scribbling when I got unfocused. What I would typically draw all over my notebooks was a tornado. This tornado tattoo will be a reminder to me to always stay focused on my goals and what’s important to me.
It kind of serves as a double meaning too because as a child I had an irrational fear of tornados and hurricanes so the tattoo will remind me to push my boundaries and step outside of my comfort zone."
