So this was my 6th tattoo. This one goes to my grandmother, the only one i’ve ever met because all my grandparents died before i was born, and i loved her so much because of that, as the only one i meet i’ve bounded a huge connection with her. She passed the way when i was 9 years old. Why turtledoves? Well, she lived far away from me and my family used to go visit her almost every weekend. She had some animals at her house but i always loved the turtledoves she had. I remember spending hours starring at them! So, one day she gave me a couple, a white one and a normal one, i was so happy! Later they had babies and everything. I love those animals since then because of they beauty and sweet personality and because the way i found to remember her is by those birds. The ribbon says “As boas memórias prevalecem” wich means “The good memories remains”. I miss her so much…
