The Meaning Behind the Ink: The Story

Tribute to my daughter

My body is a tribute to my daughter. Ever since the day of her birth, I’ve been getting tattoos to honor her. I got her name on my heart, then came our love for the Wizard of Oz books, so I got Jack Pumpkinhead, her favorite character. Then as she grew, Dragonball became our show we bonded over, so I got Shenron tattooed on my forearm. Her next love and our next bonding experience was Pokémon. She told me I should get Snorlax tattooed on my other forearm. Along the way, I added her Irish birth animal, the swan, on my shoulder. She’s my everything, and my body is a tribute to everything she means to me.
