Our Hope Is Yahweh

My very first (and possibly last) tattoo.
I had it done on Saturday, by Derek Bunkley at Second Skin in St.Marys
It took 3 and 1/2 hours to complete, but was well worth it.
I designed this piece for myself.
I knew that by doing that, it would instantly have more meaning to me.
It contains a music note design to incorporate my love for music, a paint pallet and brushes to bring in my love for art, and painting. A dove, which I always love to incorporate into my own paintings, always stands for peace and strangely enough, is now the name David refers to me as his own.
The words "Our Hope is Yahweh" both incorporates my love and complete devotion to my Savior and the absolute point that he IS hope.
In addition, I am able to quote a beloved Hillsong song, a line in the track named "Yahweh"
Amazing.
Awesome experience and quite painful.
