They pay homage to my fallen son. My son died at 22 years old on December 15th, 2012. I am probably posting to much info here but it's my story. You see, I am a recovering alcoholic and at the time of his death I was 11 years into my recovery from being a BAD alcoholic. This matters here because the pain of losing a son was a pain like no other. What do most people do to numb pain? Alcohol...drugs perhaps. I did not have this luxury so I numbed my pain with tattoos of course. So each of my 50 plus tattoos has a LOT of meaning. Today I am 22 years sober not once yielding to the ugly monkey on one's back. I have ink on me that comforts me when I look at in in bouts of grief that still comes in waves...</p></blockquote><p></p>
