Cancer tattoo: They were born in July and it’s their astrological sign. They got it for their birthday. They were up in North Carolina and they were 16. Their mom and uncle split the cost: it was a birthday present.
Cross tattoo: Their mom has the same tattoo in the same spot and this is for their mom.
Ring tattoo: The ring tattoo is a reminder that the only person they are responsible for is themselves. They originally got it in a relationship, and decided instead of keeping it as is, to redo the tattoo. The ring used to be numbers and now it’s just the band. It keeps them responsible for who they are. This tattoo is on their wedding finger.
Compass tattoo: They got this from a drunken party. They were having fun, their friend had a tattoo gun. It came out pretty well they are happy with it.
Sugar Skull tattoo: Tim Brown owns a tattoo shop in Charleston called Breakthrough Tattoo. Tim saw them buy their cousin a tattoo while Tim was in town. Tim was so moved by this action that he gave them a gift certificate for a tattoo. Tim designed this whole piece for them after they explained some of their favorite symbols. The tattoo took a long time, but they think it was worth it.
The roses and skulls are part of a bigger piece that will happen on their arm. It is connected to death. The plan is that after the Spanish, to have a Latin piece that says, “Memento Mori.” It’s important to remember that we are all mortal, and we have to live our lives to the fullest because we are going to die. Tim is designing it one piece at a time.
