I got this tattoo because my mom also has it.  It has separate meanings for the two of us, but it is still a reason we are one.  This is the beginning of my sleeve by Jason Lea

This is my first tattoo, and I got it as a surprise to my grandmother, since she’s been singing this song to me since I was a baby. Done by Rocky Cordova at Pistol Pete’s Tattoo Saloon in Arlington, Texas.

A tattoo I had done the day after my 18th birthday at In Your Face Tattooz in Fond du Lac, WI. Gavin was my artist. I wanted something kind of along the lines of a family tree, so I went with the tree branch. The birds kissing represent my grandparents who died (blue for Grampa and purple for Grama), the butterfly is supposed to be my brother who was killed two and a half years ago, and the four leaves falling off the tree represent four of my friends who were killed in a car accident. I absolutely love it!!

This beauty was done by Berth’s in Lefaivre, Ontario. 2 years ago while playing a soccer game I collapsed on the field. I will never forget that moment- the moment when my heart stopped. Luckily I survived a heart attack at 17years old. Since then it’s just been recovering, hospital stays, surgeries, medication, and lifestyle change. This tattoo is a reminder to me and everyone I care about to not give up and to keep fighting until the very last beat.
