It’s undeniable that roses are beautiful, but if you aren’t careful the thorns will get you. The thing can be said about life, but the important part is making sure that the when the thorns do get you that you find a way to keep on going. Today’s Inked Girl of the Day, Taylor Crawford, designed her favorite tattoo with this sentiment in mind.

“My side piece of roses and thorns is the story of my life,” Taylor says of her favorite tattoo. “As each rose grows and blooms there are thorns (hardships) one must overcome but I can still see the beauty in it all.”

The tattoo runs from her side all the way down onto here leg. It truly is a striking piece that is as beautiful as the sentiments that Taylor has attached to it.

When you look through Taylor’s gallery of photos it’s hard to see any thorns at all. As we look at the lovely brunette posing in next to nothing obstacles and the struggles of life are as far away from our thoughts as can be.

It’s hard to believe that Taylor’s day job is as a dental hygienist. We’re guessing that the office she works in is the only one in the country to have people eager to come in for an appointment.

You can see more of Taylor on both of her Inked Girls profiles here and here. If you like what you see we recommend that you take a look at Karlee Jane’s photo spread. Or you can head over to the Inked Girls homepage and look through hundreds of profiles filled with sexy tattooed women.
