COLUMBIA, MD -- 5/15/11 -- Lauren Dusold, 39, lives in Marriottsville, MD and works in sales. "My back piece is a Buddhist deity "The White Tara" she is often called the mother of all Buddhas. Her color signifies purity, wisdom, and truth. She has seven eyes to see all of the suffering in the world and is the goddess of compassion. She's also associated with overcoming obstacles." Two things compelled Lauren to get inked. "I was diagnosed with cancer in 2008 and decided to get tattooed in between treatments. My tattoo took 6 sessions spread out over approximately 6 months. Four weeks of healing in between each sitting." And, "A girlfriend was celebrating a big birthday and I told her we should get tattoos to celebrate." by André Chung #AC1_9041
