everyone calls me Vics 💕 I have a tortoise and a hare tattooed on my left and right calves as a nod to both my running life as well as Aesop's fables. I've never been the fastest or fittest runner, but what I lack in speed I make up for in fortitude and an iron-clad determination to always see a task through. For this reason, I rely on the hare on my right leg to get the momentum going, and the tortoise on my left leg to run with heart and finish strong. My other quarter sleeve tattoo on my left arm is a tribute to being raised in a family involved in the restaurant industry and being the dessert baker of my family, but the colorful composition is also a reminder for me to enjoy life and not take things (myself included) too seriously. My newest tattoo of magpies on my right arm is there to bring good luck and love to my loved ones, as magpies are carriers of good fortune in Chinese culture.
