My first tattoo

(1/4) > >>

-Doug-:
I've been away from the site for a while. As some of you may know, my oldest son (15yo) passed away in April unexpectedly. He had a heart condition but had a great checkup the day before - it was just a freak occurrence. He collapsed while skateboarding.

I've never been opposed to tattoos but never thought there would be anything that I'd want permanently on my body. I'd always said if I got one, it would have to be a memorial tattoo.

These two photos are what I gave him as ideas...


This is the finished piece.

Sir Harry:
Looks great, Doug! Was it painful? BTW, I know I may have said it again and again, but we all here send our continued prayers and love to you, Becca and your other sons. What a nice way to honor Gabe!

-Doug-:
It wasn't painful so much as is was uncomfortable. I'd describe it as a vibrating, scratching sensation. Don't get me wrong though. There were a few spots where the pucker factor was high.

Thanks for the continued prayers Harry!

Cave Dweller:
That is an amazing piece, Doug.

You have been in my thoughts and prayers.

-Doug-:
Thanks Tom!
