ink as a tribute.

• many people that i talk to with ink tend to tell me that they have atleast one tattoo in tribute to someone. this is mine.

• my grandfather and i are very close. when i was still living at home, i spent a lot of time with him. we would listen to elvis and johnny cash and put together puzzle after puzzle. he's recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. this tattoo was a christmas present to him. when he's gone, even though the pieces won't be put together anymore, i'll always hold them for him.

• it's amazing how incredible a tribute tattoo can make you feel. it's emotional, beautiful, and bonding.

• i love to hear the stories behind tribute tattoos or any other tattoo.
