Eariler this year, my uncle, who was a tattoo artist, moved away from California to New Jersey with his wife and child. I was really close with him and when he moved, he gave me his tattoo set. He always tried to prevent me from getting any tats and he was actually the one gave me my first piercing, on my right lip, when I was twelve…it was actually a dare from my mom. Ha. I really didnt know what to do when he gave me his set. So I had asked my brother, an amateur tatt artist, to do a tat on me. It’s a tat I’ve been wanting since I was eleven years old…a heartagram
It is on left ankle…right now the bone. It was painful. I thought I could had handle it because I had so many piercings in my life time and Im not even twenty yet.
What does the tattoo mean to me?
H.I.M has been one of my fave bands but the meaning behind it is ‘Life and Death’, ‘Love and Hate’. All my tats I will get in the future will be a dedication to music and life experiences. I got that tattoo to give me a reminder of the day my uncle left. Its something to remember him by. Yes, I know its going to be on my body forever but hey, its a reminder when I was young and stupid…

I got my first tattoo for my 18th birthday it was a gift from me to me..lmao it’s the Grim Ripper and it’s located on my left hip, I got it done in Hollywood, Cailfornia in a shop by the name of California Tattoo’s by a hottie named bobby. I’m now going to be 29 yrs old and still looking for the right drawing to tattoo on my right hip and another on my arm…I hope to find it soon. : )
