NOTE: The recording was messed up. Below is my memory of what was told to me for these two tattoos. The tattoos are on different people, who are partners.

Apple Logo tattoo: The person who had this tattoo was homeless and living in a shelter. They managed to get a job in Apple at a support desk. On the way home from work on the they decided to pay homage to the job by getting an Apple logo. The colors were supposed to match the Apple brand.

Pepe Le Pew tattoo: This tattoo is a cover up. They would not say what the original tattoo was. They looked through a book of tattoos they that would cover it up and picked this. They also did not want the heart in the tattoo. The artist game them a deal to keep the heart in the tattoo. Their partner will be getting a Penelope so it will mean something then, however, currently, it is only a cover up.

Shoulder, Arm, and Back tattoos: The tattoo starts with a cancer survivor symbol. Their mom survived breast cancer. The photo is a photo of their mom. This is to symbolize the half of her that passed away and the other half that has to stay strong. The bird symbolizes that when you are dealing with pain, you have to keep moving forward. There is also a tribal symbol for strength and another symbol for healing. To heal you have to forgive. The forgiveness is for the pain that they have.

Barz Microphone tattoo: This is Barz’s stage name. When you are composing music it is called a bar. Barz has been told they have bars. People say Barz’s music is pretty dope.

Rose tattoo: Barz got this tattoo right before they were about to come home to symbolize change. The blossoming of a new person. If you look close inside the rose, you will see a music note. Music helped Barz become the person they are changing into.

Paula tattoo: This is Barz’s Mom’s name. Barz’s mom helped them become the person they are today.

Barz got all of these while in prison.

To make the prison tattoo gun, they take a toothbrush that holds the gun. They take a paper clip and stretch it out and that is the needle. The battery from the razor is the motor for the gun.

Queen Chess Piece tattoo with Music Notes: Allagi was with an abusive ex. Allagi got away. Their mother passed away 2 years ago and she loved lighthouses. Allagi is planning on getting this tattoo turned into a lighthouse to remove the connection to the ex.

Star tattoo: Allagi likes this tattoo but doesn’t love it. Allagi thinks if it’s going to be on their body they should love it. If it was changed up some Allagi might like it more.

Cross tattoo: This was Allagi’s first tattoo. Allagi did not know what tattoo to get. Allagi thinks it is way to low. Allagi dislikes this tattoo, too.

Children’s Names tattoo: These are the names of Allagi’s children.

Shooting Stars tattoo: The tattoo is supposed to be shooting stars and not rainbows. Allagi was hoping this would turn out better then it did.
