A friend of mine lost her husband to a motorcycle wreck on the same road as my late husband did over a year ago.
She has recently added tattoos to her body. I use to have a hard time understanding this type of art. Now I have much respect for it. I have always been fascinated by it, but too chicken to actually have one put on my own body lol.
Every tattoo on her body has a precious story behind it.
Grandchildren’s footprints
This tattoo is all about her loving grandchildren. She has all of her grandchildren’s footprints on this one. She fought to survive for them as well as her own daughters.
Todd and her Dad
On the end by her wrist is the last message her late husband todd wrote her. it has his own signature on it. This to me is so special, it must make her feel his presence when she looks at it. This one has another special meaning, but I can’t seem to read it. See if you can read it, put it in the comment box. I think one side has to do with her late husband Todd, and the other side has to do with her dad that died a few years ago. They were close!
The butterfly tattoo
I can’t remember everything she told me about this tattoo, but it has to do with her daughter’s favorite colors. This is another Blanket of Love symbol of her love for her family. This blanket of love I believe is still helping her live more at peace, knowing all this love surrounds her daily.
The Puzzling Mystery of Love
The last one says something like “A piece of me left the day God called you home.” I can’t read it all but that is what it means.
Tattoos can feel like a Blanket of Love when love surrounds it.
Thank you tasartcraft for sharing your thoughts.
I like special and meaningful tattoos, but some people just put anything for the sake to have a tattoo. Thanks for showing that it can be much more than just a drawing on the skin!
Thank you for such a thoughtful reply.
I love seeing tattoos on other people’s bodies but not for my own body. Your friend has a unique way to express her love to all the people she loves
Thank you Albert! I know for a fact that her family means everything to her
I am so sure she is like that!
I do not like to have tattoos. But everyone has the right to express their feelings in a way he likes.
I don’t have a low opinion of people who are fond of having tattoos on their body. It is way of expressing themselves. c”,)
Tattoos are not my favorite either but I do respect culture and naturally I love a good story.
I admire tattoos on others but I am also too chicken to have any
Thank you Gloridaze for sharing your thoughts. I am chicken too.
“Every picture tells a story” . She has created a marvelous ink memorial to her husband and found a unique way to celebrate her family love. I would personally require a lot of Tequila to even look at the needle before getting any kind of ink like that, but God bless her that’s great.
Thank you Paul and you are so right. Oh, I agree with you that I would need a drink or two to even say YES t having this done. It shows how much her family means to her.
To each his own and I am sure this makes her feel close.
Thank you, dear Carol! Personally, I wouldn’t mind one special one, but this does seem to hold her close ones dear to her.
