SERENITY PRAYER u ������God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the diference.��� It���s basically like a wisdom quote in the Bible. Basically, for me I take it as not trying to do too much. Put everything I can���t control in God���s hands, and just control what I can control. I heard that quote so much growing up. I always liked it. We drew it out on a sheet of paper, and I was like ���You gonna make it look that? He was like, ���I can do it.��� It came out pretty good, man.��� QUEEN CITY u ���That was one of my frst tattoos, the state of North Carolina with Charlotte on there. It says Queen City. I wanted to get a North Carolina tattoo on me early, and that was a good place for it. I still love it. It���s so clean. It kinda hurt, man. There���s a basketball and everything in it. When he was doing it, it felt like the pain was shocking up through my armpit. It was tough to take.��� ���I didn���t use any numbing cream for my frst 30, 35 tattoos. I started using it for my last seven to 10 tattoos because I actually found some. I didn���t even know they made it so it���s good. I should���ve been using it the whole time.��� ���I got a Rosary on my sternum. That was tough. And the ���Rise And Grind��� on my stomach. Those were the two that hurt the most. The ���Rise And Grind��� on my stomach probably hurt the most out of any of my tattoos.��� ANGELA ���That���s my mother. That���s my momma. That was one of my frst tattoos, it was that and the frst part of my city on my left arm that were my frst tattoos. I got my mom���s name because everybody knows she���s the best thing to ever happen to me, man, a blessing in my life. I talk to her almost every day. She���s made the most sacrifces for me out of anybody. I got her name and a halo over her head with angel���s wings coming of with doves and stuf on the side.��� ���This was the frst one I got.��� 53
