Catt Sadler Bird, Dove, Initial Forearm Tattoo

s_bukley / Bigstock.com

Catt Sadler has a silhouette of a dove tattooed on her left forearm, just below the inside of her elbow. In red are are the initials of her two sons: “AK” for Arion Kyle and “AW” for Austin William. She got the tattoo after her divorce from the boys’ father Kyle Boyd in 2008. The dove is a traditional symbol of peace.

Catt explained the tattoo’s meaning in a post on her blog:
“The tattoo on my left forearm came shortly after my divorce. I’ve always loved birds and the dove to me has really always represented peace & tranquility. That time in my life was especially turbulent and coming out of that darkness really required a resilience on my part – a commitment to peace and love and forgiveness. I couldn’t think of anything more perfect than a dove and my children’s initials in red. Arion Kyle, my baby and Austin William, my first born.”

Be the silent watcher of your behavior and thoughts. You are beneath the thinker. You are the stillness beneath the mental noise. You are the love and joy beneath the pain. – Eckhart Tolle

So @willmarfuggi dared me to caption this photo: "I like it hot, black, and at work." ?…. I was thinking more along the lines of "couture + caffeine"… Now you turn. #DailyPop
