I already featured the tattoo that I got with my brother. He has two other ones, which he kindly described to me below. Thanks TJ!
Skeleton Key
"I chose the key because of it's meaning and the connection shared with my girlfriend and myself. Within her family there is a fascination with antique skeleton keys and their design. This fascination was passed on to me and I found myself keeping an eye out for them while I was out and about. The key also symbolizes a way to open and let others in. This is especially true in our relationship where no matter what we are always there for each other. The skeleton key is a constant reminder that there is someone out there with me caring for me and waiting for me to come back."
Tri-Ghosts
This tattoo was done by his friend by way of the stick and poke method using India ink and a needle. Here is what TJ had to say about this one:
"The design started out as a drawing on a pair of shoes in the same location. Eventually there was a good enough trust built up between us to allow him to jab me repeatedly in the foot with a sharp object. It has a very nice flow with the shape of my foot and looks very organic. The ghosts were a prevalent character in the drawings and tags that we had done together so in a moment of bonding I let him put it on my body."
This is the first Stick and Poke that I have featured. I will do a write-up soon featuring the basics of the stick and poke method, and India ink. Thanks to TJ for providing me with the pictures and the stories behind his designs!
