On my arm is Smokey, my dog and best friend. He gave me unconditional love, loyalty, and comfort through some of the hardest times in my life. That portrait reminds me of every tail wag, every goofy look, and every moment we shared. He wasn’t just a pet or my first dog, he was the heart that helped hold my family together after we lost my older brother. These tattoos aren’t just art,they’re memories made permanent, reminders that those I’ve lost are always with me, walkin
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak; I think it would say “I’m here, I’m not going anywhere. Everything you do, everywhere you go, we are here.” Every tattoo I have has meaning behind it and I like to think I’m traveling and doing the things that they didn’t get to do.
What would you do with the $25,000?With $25,000 I would pay off my student loans and finally be able to help my parents out. They have been through so much since my brother has passed and I would love to be able to write them a check and finally put them at ease.
