My tattoos

Wesene Mammo from Glen Eden

Some people ask me about my tattoos, even though 2 of them are straight forward.

I have combination of my daughters name in my language on my arm.

I’ve Ethiopia behind my ear because I’m from Ethiopia 😁
Africa map with my flag on my back, because I’m from Africa and proud of it

Best for last

I’ve fern on my chest near to my heart. Because NZ is close to my heart, reason being NZ gave me protection when my country couldn’t.

God bless 🇳🇿 and 🇪🇹
