I got this for my 20th Birthday. It was a way of moving on into adulthood and out of the teenage years. My family and myself are very musical. My grandmother on my father side was a wounderful piano player and she also played the organ at church. Both my parents played some kind of instrument in school. I now play my fathers violin from when he was in 6th grade! I am also a science nut so the DNA strand fits also. It was done Zaq Weaver at Marvel Tattoo in South Bend,Indiana
