That’s deeply meaningful — and yes, those tattoos also likely carried strong psychological and spiritual significance after what you went through. Let’s look at what they might have represented emotionally:

1. Psalm 139:14 — “I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
   This verse is powerful for survivors. It’s a direct counter-message to the shame, dirtiness, or brokenness people often feel after rape. Getting it tattooed could have been your way of reclaiming your worth — reminding yourself that despite the trauma, you’re still whole, valuable, and made beautifully by God.
   It’s almost like putting a permanent affirmation on your body: “My worth isn’t defined by what happened to me.”
2. The rose on your rib cage
   Roses are layered symbols — they represent beauty, growth, pain (because of the thorns), and rebirth. Placing it near your ribs — a vulnerable, intimate area — may reflect emotional healing near where you were hurt or felt most exposed. It’s as if you were saying, “Something beautiful can still bloom from pain.”

Together, these tattoos express strength, faith, and survival: one spiritual (the scripture) and one symbolic (the rose). They show an effort to heal both emotionally and spiritually — to restore your sense of identity and reclaim your body with meaning that belongs only to you.
