This is my second tattoo, done in mid-July 2011 by Ant at Ascension Custom Dermagraphics in Orlando, Florida. Dandelions are a special thing my mother and I share. When I was about 4 years old, we would take walks at sunset around our neighborhood, which had a lot of dandelion fields. One day, she told me to make a wish then blow the seeds away. All of a sudden, this giant gust of wind nearly knocked me and my mom over and sent all the dandelion seeds swirling away in the sunset. That amazing image is burned into my memory, and ever since, every time my mom or I see a dandelion, we just look at each other and laugh. I’ve considered this idea as a tattoo for at least two years, and I’m ecstatic with the result.
