Chinese Symbol for Family

Shelly has several tattoos. However, I think this one has the most meaning to her. It's the Chinese symbol for family.

"I got this one on February 28th. My son and I both got tattoos, mine is the Chinese Symbol for Family and he got this really cool tattoo of bats coming out of his rib cage! I chose the Family one because family is the strongest bond there is. In fact, my cousin is getting a matching tattoo."

For Grandmother - Breast Cancer

This tattoo is one of those that got me started thinking about doing a blog with stories. Last summer, I saw this pink ribbon tattoo when Brandy was doing a bikini car wash. When I asked her about it, she said it was for her grandmother who had breast cancer.

U. of L. Cards Fan

This is Deb's story about her tattoo of a Cardinal.

"I didn't think I'd ever get a tattoo - what what I put on my body that I'd love til I die? But, I'm a big U of L fan. Always have been. So, in the fall of 2006, I decided to get a U of L fighting Cardinal tattooed on my foot to support the team!

The Cards are the only things I'll love til the day I die!"
