I only have tattoos of animals. Feel more comfortable around them than people, so I figured I’d cover myself with hyperrealistic tattoos

My tattoos are a tribute to the career I wanted as a kid, but it never played out the way I thought. I always wanted to work with animals. Worked hard in school and was enrolled at UC Berkeley, but I never got the chance to start. Two weeks before freshman year my girlfriend was diagnosed with liver cancer. I dropped out and never looked back. Stayed home while she finished her chemo. She’s healthy now. But I never went back to school. Years past, got the ink instead
If your ink could speak, what would it say?Sure it means different things to different people. For me it’s a testament to wear your heart on your sleeve. It’s practically impossible to know if someone is genuine. Whether it’s for good or bad reasons, it doesn’t matter. People act. Animals on the other hand are honest. Brutally honest, with their nature and intentions. A tiger may want to kill and eat you, but at least you’re fully aware of that. Wear your heart on your sleeve
