My friend has a newborn daughter. He is, like most new fathers, head over heels, and has chosen to express it in a unique way.
We’ve talked before about the spirituality and meaning of tattooing, I thought this this was an exquisite and moving example of how we can transform ourselves with sacred marks. Here is a symbol that is both an expression of love and of commitment. My friend Steve will never be apart from his daughter, because he has chosen to place her on his arm. He carries her literally and figuratively. He shows the world that he is permanently changed by becoming a father. This is really everything that a tattoo can be.
