I'd love to know more! At this moment I know that pin-up Cynthia is a kind of tribute to her Nan. "Hello Sailor" is connected with Blake's nickname they used in their love talk (she was mermaid). "Daddy's girl" expresses her attachment to Dad Mitch. "A" on the finger was the initial letter of the name of one of her friends (not sure 100% though). The girl with naked boobs is Bardot-like but I dono if it refers to this actress directly...

I actually know nothing about Amy's tattoos. Her Cynthia tattoo is that her gran? And the "Never clip my wings" tattoo didn't she get that one on st. Lucia?
Always been wondering what was behind all her tattoos.
And the "Blake pocket" tattoo. What was the point of that? I know she wanted him close to her heart therefore she had it with her heart but why the pocket?
And the "Daddy's girl".... That explains itself. She was daddy's girl. She loved her dad, but if you know something more then share it.

The A in her finger was for Alex Claire, the guy she dated in 2006 before going back to Blake.

AFAIK the feather and the lightning bolt should symbolize her "two characters".

The 'Hello Sailor' thing is something to do with Blake being her sailor and her a mermain - fits with the whole pin-up thing!
I love you in a place where there's no space or time...Forever you will be a true friend of mine:)

Exact alike i mentionned before ! The feather is the softness or the peace , the lightningbolt is agressif and violent . At first tatoo more i take the feather . Do'nt like the bolt , becouse i know i can generate 10 times the violence where Amy was wrestling with . But i hate it and do'nt want to do it . :'-(

Amy's tattoos...like previous posters have said...The Horseshoe is for luck so ''Daddy's Lucky Girl''...The Never Clip My Wing's...to be free, to live, don't want to be held back. Amy's tattoo on her back...The eagle is the king of birds, the eagle symbolises might and spiritual growth. The Egyptian hieroglyph symbol of the ankh cross means eternal life...the the feather, free, guided spirit, soft, gentle I suppose you could look at it as floats with the air guiding it?...the lightening bolt...powerful, fast...in the bible lightning means the light of truth. But it can also mean fear?
Blake in a jeans pocket, he was tucked safe in her pocket close to her heart...

I never knew about the A on her finger was for Alex Claire, I always assumed it was A for Amy, so thats really interesting to know :)

The "Hello Sailor" tattoo seems to me like a very strategically placed greeting to Blake when he, let's say, was in the general area...
Amy, if you are up there listening, thank you for sharing the incredible soundtracks of your life ...

I have the Hello Sailor on my stomach too, in smaller. But don't worry, I'm not crazy, the anchor symbol represents something personal in my life so I decided to mix my admiration for Amy with that little something. I didn't meant to be like her or be linked to Blake hahaha ! :)

I fall in love everyday !
Not with people, but with situations...
