I got this small tattoo in honor of my grandmother. She has a never ending obsession with cows and She is the most important person in my life.

I got this tattoo done at Fishbone Tattoo while living in Chengdu, Sichuan, China right before my return to the US.
This tattoo symbolizes three vastly important themes in my life. First, it represents my love for travel, my desire to walk the terrain of an endless list of places, and the genuine inspiration which results from reaching different destinations. Second, it’s a nod to my decision to never settle. I know far too many people who are stuck in places or with people which they no longer wish to be connected to. If you’re not happy, move, run, transition, get on a plane and find a place you’ll thrive in. Lastly, the broken line ends at “平衡” or “balance”. Nothing lasts very long in an extreme or deficient form and balance is never reached through a direct or simple path.
This was a cover up job of an old tattoo. It’s hidden pretty well!

I got this done at Art And Soul Tattoo in Mansfield, MA by Ben. He did my other tattoo, my Hunger Games one, as well. He’s amazing at inking vintage-style tattoos.
It’s my Fraternity Nickname, Wolfsbane. I never thought I’d join a fraternity, but it’s done more for me than I could have imagined. I’ve always loved anchors, and as it turns out they stand for “Hope” and a “Fresh Start.” this is what my fraternity means to me, so I combined the two. On the bottom, the purple is the actual Wolfsbane flower, its poison so powerful you need to pick it with gloves to avoid the toxin. It means strength, and combined with the anchor, strength of character, to hope, and to go on.
My beautiful black and grey custom piece by Dave Watt @ Blue Lotus in Worcester, UK. The tattoo symbolises beauty and freedom and I got in 4 months after I moved away to University. The tattoo took 3 hours and was done in 2 sittings. I can’t recommend him enough, he’s a wonderful artist. I love it so much!

I got my tattoo done at Will Rise Tattoo in Hollywood, Ca. by Adam Vu. I got my roses when I was 20 and it was my first piece I ever got done, the two bloomed roses represent two decades of my life already blossomed and in the past and the un-bloomed rose represents the years that have yet to unfold.. not only does it represent my life it represents beauty & everlasting love. I had an amazing experience with Tattooer, Adam Vu.. he is so dedicated and so talented!
Love everything that represents it.
Done by Chris Lurie at Lasting Empressions in Daleville, Alabama. (Outline only.) This is my best friend/love of my life Samuel, ex-drug addict. After almost losing his life to his drug of choice, he is now sober, in recovery, and enlisted in the Navy. I got him this tattoo as a ‘going away’ present for when he gets shipped off. I couldn’t be prouder of him. He saved both our lives, for that I’m forever grateful.
The image represents the biggest terror a sailor can face in old folk tails, the text is lyrics from Wooden Heart by Listener.
‘Don’t let these waves wash away your hopes.’

Don’t ever give up, don’t ever back down, even when things get tough and terrifying. Fight to the very end.

This is my moms new tattoo. It’s the hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil monkeys. I want to get something like this to match her now.

I posted the start of my Harry Potter side piece a couple of months ago. This is what we’ve done with it since then :) It’s not completely finished, still have to add more colour and a bit of shading, but I’m completely in love with how it’s turning out!
My girlfriend’s freshly inked elephant
Done by the incredible Tara @ Phenomabomb Tattoo in Dublin, PA.
This was her first tattoo and she didn’t wince once. The artist, Tara, was amazing. She was almost as excited about the tattoo as my girlfriend was!
This final piece was done by Blaze at Fat Ink at Citrus Park FL.
This is the start of my Joker tribute, on my left arm he resides
On my right will be his mad love Harley Quinn
These are the only pieces that I will have color to, all the rest will remain black and grey
