I wanted a tattoo that would embrace my love for astronomy and consciousness of being. I remember years ago realizing the fact that we were made of star stuff when I was watching an episode of Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos” series. Since then, my entire outlook on life has changed. Our ability to experience is so cherishable. I am not one of religion, but the feelings that I experience when I think about our origins, are not unlike spirituality.
“We are part of this universe, we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts… is that the universe is in us. When I reflect on that fact… many people feel small, cause they’re small and the universe is big, but I feel big! Because, my atoms came from those stars.” - Neil DeGrasse Tyson
I got this done about 5 months ago after waiting years to find the perfect design. My late grandfather, whom was also like my Father, passed away from Leukemia about 5 years ago and he was very fond of fishing. So I decided what better to get than a Catfish. The Lily is my favorite flower done in my grandfathers and mine favorite colors. I wouldn’t have my tattoo any other way. I love it dearly and have no regrets even after the 4 and half hour session being slouched over ! I got this done at Vince’s Nightmare Tattoo’s in Miami FL with Jay ! He is an amazing artist ! Artist first then tattoo artist ! I would surely go back to him for the rest of pieces !

I got this tattoo in September of this year in Round Rock, TX at D.C. Tatts Inc. by Victor.
Tattoos have always been really interesting to me and I’ve always known that I wanted a a lot of them. I got this because one day I saw the shop and just decided to check it out, a week later I came back, saw Victor’s sketch and instantly knew I had to get it.
This tattoo ultimately represents my absolute love of all things metal. I’m a huge metalhead and it’s a big part of my life. I wanted to get something that could represent that and celebrate it. The cross, dog tags, and army helmet are all from the cover of Master Of Puppets by Metallica, they’re what got me into metal in the first place, and I guess I chose a torn up hand because I’ve gotta say, death metal is my favorite out of the subgenres. I love this tattoo and absolutely can’t wait to get more.

They are perfect and exactly what I wanted. The Harry Potter story will always hold a special place in my heart… and on my feet. ;)
I’m an apprentice at Immortal Art Studio in Carlisle and one of the most amazing perks of the position is that I get amazing art from the artists there free of charge. Got this on my ankle because I love the artwork and this style of tattoo, as an artist it doesn’t have much meaning its just something I love to look at. Hoping to turn this into a leg sleeve!
