There are the ones with a lot more to them than you might think.

1.
A recreation of my grandpa’s 50-year-old tattoo
2.
My first tattoo, an homage to the neighborhood I spent so much of my childhood in.
3.
100% deaf in my left ear
4.
Best friend passed away last year. Got my first tattoo to remember all the good times we had.
5.
My parents’ wedding photo
6.
The tick mark signifies me being one year without bad habits.
7.
Moved from Sydney to Ireland when I was 10. I’m 20 now and here’s my first tattoo.
8.
This is my cat
9.
Finally did something with my scar.
10.
Mom and I got matching pieces when she turned 70. Cool day.
11.
In honor of my cat who looks (and acts) just like him.
12.
First tattoo. Each tree symbolizes a loved one in my life + a faded one for my mom who passed. Love the simplicity.
13.
After years of fighting depression. This is how I expressed my thoughts.
14.
My mom’s portrait. She recently passed away.
15.
Bear in honor of my dog, Bear
16.
Tattoo with my siblings, done by Frantz at Frantz Ink Studio.
17.
Not an intricate piece but my very first tattoo to honor my autistic grandson. So pleased with it.
18.
An eagle that my father was supposed to get tattooed, but couldn’t due to health problems, so I got it for him.
