this tattoo sits on my left scapula.... where my son places his hand when i hold him. this was my tattoo gift... and something I will never regret. Frankie inked his hand and placed it on a paper... i wanted this to look like an ink stamp. then the artist copied the outline of his hand and the major lines/wrinkles, so that the true handprint dimensions would be shown. the rest he did from looking at the print... this guy is AMAZING, I'm telling you. and the best part.. it didn't hurt AT ALL!.

my son is my pride and joy.. and this way, I have him with me, wherever I go... even when he's at his dad's house. I love him so much.. and it makes me happy to always have this with me now... I LOVE YOU KIDDO!
