I’ll be honest – I used to think goddess tattoos were kind of cheesy. Then I saw this woman at a coffee shop with an Artemis piece on her forearm, and something about it just clicked.

Thistle tattoos have been getting really popular lately, and I totally get why. I recently watched my friend Jamie, a proud Scot living in California, get this incredible thistle tattoo that perfectly captured both his heritage and personal strength.
