When I texted the picture to my sister, she had the exact same reaction to it.
#SERENITY TATTOO ON WRIST FREE#
So originally I was going to use a pattern Jade had free handed and make it into an armband, but I decided I wanted something more meaningful, and I imagined her spirit ascending a staircase as she transitioned into her next existence…call it heaven or whatever, but I told Justin what I was thinking, and within like an hour he texted me a picture of what he had designed and it was EXACTLY what I pictured to the point that it instantly brought me to tears looking at it. Anyways….so the tattoo…a friend of mine Justin that I met while I was at SMCC did it…I’d seen some of his work when he was doing work at Coopas. “Memorial piece I had done on the one year anniversary of my niece Jade’s death from her suicide…7/11/17. “My grandkids fingerprints as balloons and their names as balloon strings.” -Michelle The time inside is when she was born and the date and her name was cause I loved the name but wanted to be unique with the spelling.” -Kristina The Minnie clock was my first birthday theme as a child so it felt right to continue. So her footprint is there to follow me on our journey. It wasn’t until I was giving birth that it finally sunk in that I was a mom, and in that moment I knew I needed something on my body to mark my pride and joy. Once I found out I was having a girl I was thrilled but still was waiting for the other shoe to drop. I changed my diet, cut caffeine, I did everything hoping I wouldn’t lose my child. In Feb 2019 I got a positive test and was happy but sad at the same time thinking I was going to lose my baby at any moment. “Over the pass few year I had gotten pregnant and then miscarried. My mom gave me my Dads wedding band and I wear it everyday.” -Stacey The heart has a wedding band and that’s for my mom. The cross has a wedding with his name, birthdate and date of passing.
The cross tattoo I got on his 20th anniversary of his passing. And was able to have my special song tattooed with his handwriting. We took the letters from a note he wrote my mom when I was a baby. Memories I hold close to my heart! I also have a tattoo that says One More Day in his handwriting. I look at it as having 14 wonderful years with him. But for me, I don’t look at it as being sad. Because the lyrics are true, Missing You Comes in Waves, And Tonight I’m Drowning. 2 days later I actually met Chris for my 2nd meet and greet and I told him that I was going to get the lyrics tattooed on me because it was going to be 30 years since my Dad passed and that every 5 years I get something in honor of him. So 2 years ago, Drowning came out by Chris Young. There are days that feel like he just left, others it feels like an eternity.
I have so many memories of him in such a small amount of time. And right on cue this song will come on my Spotify. For me, when I’m needing my Dad I ask for my song to play. To this day, when my Mom & I are together, this song comes on. She told us she felt this song was written for her. Right after my dad passed away, my Mom went to Tennessee and she saw this no name artist sing a song called, If Tomorrow Never Comes. It’s something I used to do with her up until a few years ago. She did the same when my brother turned 16. So when I turned 16, she took me in honor of my Dad. That was something my Dad and his Mom did every Saturday night.
#SERENITY TATTOO ON WRIST HOW TO#
I missed out on him seeing me go to prom, teaching me how to drive. So losing him at a young age was devastating. My Dad was killed in a motorcycle accident when he was 35 years old back in 1989. I got this 2 years ago on the 30th anniversary of his passing. Every 5 years I get a tattoo in honor of my Dad. “The lyrics the Chris Young’s song, Drowning. Thank you SO much to those of you that shared your stories and ink with me. I was not disappointed.Įveryone has a story and a reason behind their ink – here are just a few. I reached out to my facebook friends to see some tats & hear (or well, read) the stories behind them. You can SEE tattoos all over the place, but you’ll never know the stories behind those tattoos until you ask. It got me thinking: we all have our own personal reasons for getting the tattoos we get. She always has all these fabulous stories - a few wild tales I cannot repeat here (wink) - and lots about the ink she’s done. While we were getting tattoo’d we chatted with our artist, Kristy. It felt nice to celebrate our friendship in this way – something that will be on our bodies forever. We’ve both been getting tattoos for awhile now but never had done one together. The design is our birth flowers (daffodil & carnation) in the shape of a heart. My best friend & I FINALLY went & got matching tattoos at our favorite shop (Serenity Tattoo!). Of course, I love tattoos 24/7 – but this past week was special to be in particular.
