Mara is our cutie that loves to sing. And she also loves fashion, beauty and especially tattoos. And she has plenty of them. Plus a super cute cool style and soul.
Talking to her is always a new discovery, this time was te tattoo world time.
Karin Bizjak:
Will you tell us your tattoo story?
Mara Rogelja:
The first tattoo I got was on my right arm on my right wrist and it says OHANA. It means FAMILY. In Hawaii they say:
Ohana means family, family means no one is left behind or forgotten.
I saw this in one in the cartoon LILO AND STITCH and it was may favourite cartoon and I liked so much this sentence and what it means so now I own it.
The second tatto I did on my left arm and is much bigger and it says: “When words fail music speaks.” This one is obvious, I am a singer and I love music and that is why I did this one.
The third tattoo I made myself and is a little music note. I was home alone and I really wanted a new tatto and I just made it. I was very young, 16 years and wanted all in a hurry, I just did it without drawing it or any preparation at all.
Then was time for another tattoo on my left arm and this is a wolf. I drew the wolf two years ago and really wanted to make a tattoo out of it, so one year later I went to Tetovarna in Maribor in Slovenia and Špela did this amazing work. I really love it. Is my favourite tatto that I own.
We are not finished jet. (Laugh.) I have three other tattoos that I made myself. One is next to the Ohana one and is a little key. I am not talking abut this one because I want it to stay a secret.
Then here is a little moon with the letter S and is dedicated to my grandma who passed away two years ago. And is because the moon really reminds me of her.
On the finger on my left arm I have another tatto and is 2.2 and I made it because my album is called 2.2.
Hope Mara will inspire you all to do what you fell with your inner creative voice and express yourself, always.
