My wife and I had our first son, Perry, in May, so this is my newest tattoo: a crowned pear for my prince, Perry!

This is better than the refrigerator. My son did this painting in second grade and I really wanted to do something special with it. My tattoo artist captured every beautiful imperfection of my little guy’s work.

My grandma (77 years young) just got her first tattoo! ‘It didn’t hurt at all.'
3
Not an intricate piece, but it’s my very first tattoo (I’m 67 years old) to honor my autistic grandson. So pleased with it.

My Nan, not letting anything get her down
5
Birth flowers for the 2 babies we’ll never get to meet
6
An homage to my stepfather who passed away last summer.
7
This is my first tattoo. It makes me happy.

I got this 2 years ago in memory of my mom. It’s based on a painting she did, and in the bottom right corner are her initials from the painting (DK). The beach was our special place.
9
Got a tattoo with my siblings!
10
My grandparents’ first date, 54 years ago

I used to write this on my arm with a sharpie in high school. In February, I finally got to meet my favorite band and the lead singer wrote it out so I could get it tattooed.
12
A complete stranger and I got tattoos of each other’s faces.
13
A memorial piece done in memory of my childhood dog
14
This is for my little boy. Now, no matter how big he gets, I’ll always have my wiggly little monster close to my heart.
15
An eagle that my father was supposed to get tattooed but couldn’t due to health problems, so I got it for him.
16
My cat entering a room

My mother got herself a Pikachu tattoo. Apart from being a huge Pokémon fan, she did it because it reminds her of me and she wanted something that represents me as a kid growing up without a dad.
