The Meaning Behind the Ink: The Story

Dedications into art

I had two very personal and meaningful tattoos done at The Silver Key. The first one was by John, maybe 8–9 years ago. I wanted to dedicate something powerful recognizing me and my son. I’m a single mom, so I wanted to portray strength and love at the same time.

 

I chose a lioness and her cub to represent us. John brought my idea into a work of art on my upper right bicep. The tattoo, like I mentioned, is almost 8–9 years old—and I still get compliments on it almost daily!
