"The tattoos on the sides of my hands are two of my all-time favorites. I love their placement and how dainty they are. There's one on each of my wrists, so when I hold my hands together and up (like in prayer), they make a 13. The little church key is the '1' and there's an Om for the number '3.' I got them on my brother's birthday, which is April 13. The day he was born was one of the happiest days in my life, so those tattoos for him. My dear friend Henry Lewis did the little 13 for me, years ago in San Francisco. He did several tattoos on me. Actually, I got most of my of tattoos while I was living in California, but my first two were done by Debbie Inksmith in Jacksonville, FL. I also have several from NYCity."
