I have two tattoos that are memorial tattoos.  The first one I got on my brothers 10th aniversary of his death back in 2005.  The tattoo is on my left wrist and its a claggdah.  I have the heart facing towards me to show that my brother has my heart.  It also had his birth year 1980 initials TSD and death year 1995.   The second one is on my chest its an anatomical heart with wings showing that my brothers heart is free. I lost my brother to a car accident that he, my sister, my mother and I were all involved in. He was ejected from the car and was killed instantly. The cop told my father when he arrived to the scene he didn’t think anyone would be alive after what he saw.  Luckily 3 of us did survive, but unfortunatly we lost my brother.  He was 14 and the oldest of the children.  He was a freshman in high school and a great artist.  He would draw flash art all of the time and he constantly told me he was going to be a tattoo artist and a drumer for a famous touring band.  My brother would have accomplished these goals if his life wasn’t taken from him.  All the tattoos that I will be getting on my body are going to be for him and my family.  I hold them all so close to my heart.  My family is what keeps me alive.
