“Every life lesson will make sense when you are older, those lessons will turn to wisdom, and that wisdom will make you fierce,” she says. “I hope to inspire people to be themselves. I would love to show people that you can be yourself without the fear of what people might think.
The freedom to let the inner you out for the world to see,” Lonni professes. “I don’t judge people for their lifestyle and would love to help spread the word on acceptance for everyone.”
Lonni says that there are life stories behind her tattoos. She got her first tattoo when she turned 30.
Unfortunately, she was in a bad marriage, and they were separated for some time. It was then that she decided to get the barbed wire around her ankle because she felt trapped and helpless. “This was the beginning of my journey to let the real me out and be who I wanted to be.”
“I think it is important to know that my tattoos don’t make me who I am any more than any other part of me.
My gray hair or my green eyes…just a part of the whole picture,” says Lonni. She hopes to inspire everyone to be what they want to be, and not care what all the Karens and Susans out there have to say: “I would love to show people that you can be yourself without the fear of what people might think. The freedom to let the inner you out for the world to see,” Lonni explains.
“You know what? We’re moms, we’re grandmas, we’re students. We are women.
We are who we are, and we’re just time stamping ourselves to remember who we are,” she added. Have you ever faced someone telling you what you should or should not do because of your age? How did you manage to respond?
