Thank you Asia for sharing her tattoo.

Inked as a memory of the Manchester City Arena terrorist attacks in 2017, as Asia attended the Ariana Grande concert that night and it has shaped who she is today.

Fortunately, she wasn’t hurt but the experience was awful and took a long time to recover from and she is now very sensitive to loud noises.

At the time, she was in the middle of her GCSE’s  and the next day she went to school as normal. Two weeks after the attacks she attended the Memorial ‘One Love’ benefit concert which helped to re write the memories.

The tattoo is a symbol of solidarity, a memory of the people and events that went on to shape her and still do.

Do you have a memory of something which has left a lasting impression, not always in the best way, which you are working daily to re write?
