"Purple Ribbon" that represent a brain condtion that I have called "Chiari Malformation". Had to have an Open Decompression Brain Surgery for this condition, along w/ another brain surgery not long after, for "Pseudotumor Crebri"... And inside the ribbon is a "ZIPPER", representing "ZIPPERHEAD". In which I've earn that name! Then, I had decided to change things up a bit w/ zipperhead tattoos by adding a couple "feathers" below...as a feather can represent MANY things, as one being that I've overcame MANY obsticals, w/ MANY medical aliments...many years of suffering, more than a handful of all types of Surgeries. But not just overcoming the "PHYSICAL" part, but also the "mental", "emotional" and even the "spiritual" aspect as well. Accepting that I am no longer the person I was 8-10 years ago. Still learning new things for the person I am now.
