I’m sure we’ve seen this tattoo on someone else before, but looking around I couldn’t find it. The design in “Flowers in the Attic” by Jason Byron Nelson (not Banksy) and the tattoo was done by Nick Agnew from Kingsland Ink.
The interesting thing about a memorial tattoo is that it can take on any form. Like the bonds we share with each other, no one single thing can be used interchangeably for every single connection we have. So when taking a look through the new memorial tattoo gallery, don’t be surprised to see more than just portraits and dates.
This piece is SarahsaurusRex’s tribute piece to her friend Trae Roach, who passed away 4/12/08 at the age of 17. John Thompson designed this tattoo, which was done by Matt Heneger from Black Arrow in Jonesboro, AR
The following photo was submitted anonymously with the title “Sexual Assault Survivor”. It’s a simple tattoo, but it also speaks volumes about the strength this person has to be able to share with the world that they are a survivor.
If you or someone you know is the victim of sexual assault, please get in touch with one of the many organizations out there. There are people out there that are willing to help. With yesterday being a day of action to stop bullying, it is good to remember that men, women, and children can all become victims of sexual assault. Now I’m not making a direct comparison between the two, but in both cases, there are people out there that do care, and want to help.
For more information, please contact your local support organizations, or visit RAINN.org for a list of international support numbers.
I saw this tattoo submitted by April_Eileen and knew I had to post it. While I’m certain this is a memorial tattoo it seemed fitting since my best friend moved away yesterday. I’ve been feeling pretty sad and this tattoo summed up how I feel quite well. Luckily, my best friend is only a 3 hour drive away so I will see her, just nowhere near as often. I can certainly relate to the sentiment of permanent goodbyes as well. The tattoo was inked by AJ Pell in Fredericksburg, VA.
I have to say, the lettering on this tattoo is fabulous. I love the soft colour and the watery look of it. Perfect choice.
