"Oi, bom dia pessoal!!!

Bom, minha mãe passa já há mais de 10 anos por problemas psiquiatricos. Com 15 anos tatuei o nome de meu pai que aliás amo muito. Quando fiz 18 anos decidi fazer um par de asa de borboleta nas costas e pensei em escrever o nome da minha mãe, mas por consideração, pois a família achava errado o que havia feito para meu pai e pra ela não.

Foi quando em um momento de lucides, minha mãe pediu que fizesse algo que pudesse lembrar dela com carinho, sem rancor nenhum, e apartir dali olhasse pra aquela tatuagem e lembrasse de como ela era doce também e vivamos bem na maior parte tempo, quando estava cuidado de suas flores. Ela pediu que eu fizesse algumas rosas. Não fiz as asas mas e vi o quanto a amo e que ela me ama também, mesmo que não tenha conciência na maior parte do tempo. Ela é uma parte de mim muito especial e só posso dizer que estou ficando cada dia mais feliz, pois ela esta melhorando e a cada dia que passa temos uma novidade de que ela está vivendo melhor, convivemos com esses resultados vendo ela em casa sem crise e até saindo dos remedios.

Não entendo o que fez ela me pedir para fazer esse desenho mas foi o que nos aproximou e dai indiante a fez melhorar. Só tenho a agradecer.

Valeu pessoal.

Tattoorism: Dean's Samurai

Last Saturday, I posted some tattoos sent to us from Tammy in Texas. Her son Dean is also tattooed and, in a much bigger way. We'll let him explain:

My very first tattoo was done on my 18th birthday in 2005...[it is] a black dragon with kanji above it. About a year letter I had a koi fish done on my calf...both of these tattoos were just drawings I had found. In 2006 I started working on my rib piece and in 2007 I got together with John from A Different Drummer here in Wichita Falls (he is now at the Lawton, OK location), and the two of us collaborated on bringing the rib piece together. Once the drawing was to our satisfaction, it took a little over 2 months of 3-4 hour sittings weekly until the tattoo was complete. 16-plus hours and worth every minute!

In 2009 I decided it was time for an arm piece and went back to A Different Drummer and Tuan who was in Art Class with me in high school listened to what I wanted... and the arm piece came to life...this one was done in one day and took a little over 7 1/2 hours:

Both pieces are marvelously done.

Thanks to Dean for sharing his work with us here on Tattoosday! And a hearty thank you, as well, to Tammy, for being a cool mom, sharing her pride in her son's amazing body art!
