The Tattoo: That Bond Will Never Be Broken

After that week, I knew.

I didn’t like needles. I never thought I’d get a tattoo.

But in the early stages after losing him I had this deep need to do something… something permanent.

A way to keep Alex and Jason with me forever.

The pieces

I knew I wanted to do something with their names.

Something with an infinity symbol.

Something specific tied to each of them.

But I didn’t know what the final piece was until the song.

That bond will never be broken. The love will never get lost.

Those words were the final piece of the tattoo.

Making it real

I did some research, found a local artist.

We talked about what I was looking for and I sent her examples of some things I’ve seen that I liked as a reference.

Over Memorial Day weekend I went and did something I never thought I’d do.

I love how it came out.

I love that Alex and Jason are forever a visual reminder of my never ending love for them right there on my arm.

What I didn’t expect

No one, including myself, was prepared for what came next.
