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.
awesome…I have no other words for that tattoo…
Deb, you totally expressed what I felt when getting that tattoo. I couldn’t have said it any better!! Thanks!! 🙂
Steve, thanks for sharing it.
wow.
That is absolutely beautiful
As the tattoo artist for this piece, not only am I happy to see it posted here, but also the fact that you understand what is ment by the ‘power’ or ‘magic’ of a tattoo. Most people will look at you cross-eyed when you mention tattoos as having power. You expressed it most eloquently.
Thank you,
