This tattoo means a ton to me. I lost my uncle to a long battle with skin cancer back in 2006. He was a huge part of my life and preached to me alot. He changed my life. he changed everyones life. when he was on his last breathe he told his brother a secret word to let him know he was okay. The word was kept a secret for 4 years. everyone got a rose and ribbon tattoo but im the only one that has the word hope. The secret was revealed in this tattoo.
