This week I went back to interviewing a person about the meaning of their tattoo because I did not have much time to look for or research interesting topics due to the fact I was in the hospital. I talked to someone from home, Derek, about his tattoos. His first tattoo is a cross with praying hands located on the upper half of his right arm. The details of the tattoo contain a ribbon going across the top. The quote in the ribbon is from his mother's gravestone saying "Life is not forever Love is". The second ribbon goes across the middle containing dates of when she was born and when she died--"71561-51496". Finally, there is another ribbon going across the bottom that says "Mom". This tattoo is meaningful to Derek because it is a remembrance of his mothers passing. It is something of sentimental value that he will always be able to have with him and hold dear to him.
Derek's second tattoo is a quote on his forearm that says "Love is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial of creating and the exponent of life". He got it after his grandfather Charles passed last x-mas season. It was a quote that Derek had heard his grandfather say on multiple occasions and he believes in it so he wanted to always remember it.
