Alexander, of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Done by Ronnie at True Blue Tattoos in Queens, New York

Done by Anodyne at Ken’s Tattoos in Saint Marys, Georgia.

My mom passed away four years ago from cancer. She was my best friend, and I never want to forget how important I was to her or how close we were. Nick from Good Faith in Boston did an awesome job, and now I have a little piece of motivation for when she isn’t there for me.

Even in darkness, His light shines. It’s words that I live by every day. Even during the darkness times, God is there for me.

Originally the tattoo was done by another artist and it didn’t come out the way I had dreamed. Stefan Meisse at Crawling Panther Tattoo in Ocala, Fla. took session after session and made it the beautiful masterpiece it became today.

This tattoo means the absolute world to me. I’ve gone through some rough times but I always know the sun will rise tomorrow and everything will be okay. The lyrics are from Mayday Parade, who are my favorite band and have helped me through more than I could ever ask for.

Sorry for the blood and ooze, this was just freshly done.

"Through the darkest storm…I will hold your hand." My friend Melinda (right) and I got a split tattoo of our favorite lyric from Goodnight Neverland’s song “Mental Illness” written by Kerry Courtney. Done by Elmer’s Tattoo in Bloomsburg, PA. This line holds loads of meaning for us and we couldn’t be happier with the result!

Sak Yant or Yantra Tattooing are believed to give the wearer magic powers associated with healing, luck, strength, and protection against evil.
You can get these here in thailand by a monk, they look beautiful but I’d never recommend it. Essentially, you’re making a pact with a spirit to protect you in exchange for sacrificing an activity or habit you may have previously enjoyed (the monk decides what this is, not you). These tattoos are contracts.
Breaking your side of the bargain may encourage the spirit to ‘punish’ you, and these contracts are not easily voided.
Reblogging for the informative caption. A lot of young people want things like this to be cool hipster fucks and they entirely disrespect the meaning behind these ceremonies
In tattooing ritual imagery, you are inviting spirits (or types of energy, if you will) into your life. Tattooing ritual imagery on your body is not something to be done lightly and ABSOLUTELY not to be done unless you have deep intellectual, spiritual and communal ties to those rituals.

My barn owl tattoo done on 10/24 by Bob Lewis at the NEPA Tattoo Club in Pittston, PA.

I sat for almost four hours and I have about 1.5-2 hours to go.

Owls are my absolute favorite animal and it is one of the tattoos that I have been wanting for years. I chose Bob because he has done phenomenal owls in the past and I am so pleased with mine! I can’t wait to go an get it finished and I highly recommend checking out the NEPA Tattoo Club if you live in the area.
