Tattoos are often used as means to
express a person's feelings most people have something to say with their
tattoos that they feel words just cannot cover. Like the old fashion saying of
a picture is worth a million words, well
it works very much the same with tattoos. For example, my husband has a
portrait of his beloved grandfather on his left shoulder to remind him of all
the good times he spent with his grandfather.
Also it means a lot to him to be able to honor his
grandfather's memory in such a way that allows him to never forget him. Even
though my husband owns many pictures to remind him of his grandfather he felt
that is just wasn't enough; so he made the decision to go forward with the
tattoo. Through my husbands experience I can honestly say that tattoos may
serve as a way of preserving a memory and/or telling a story of a beloved
relative. Before this lovely experience I considered tattoos to be a way of
life for the incarcerated and street criminals. I would have never known that
tattoos can serve a meaningful purpose.
