Tatto


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.
