A week after I lost my mom unexpectedly to massive organ failure she visited me in a dream. The dream was the most vivid and intense thing I have ever experienced. I woke up with the warm fuzzies that stuck with me for over a week. I knew from this moment on she would always be with me and I wanted a tattoo to remind me of that. For my 30th birthday I had this portrait of her as an angel inked on my left arm. Vinny Burkhart at Smokey Banana Tattoo did the work over 2 sessions totaling about 6 hours in all.
