I am not a fan of tattoos. I don't have any myself.
Jimmy Buffet wrote a song called 'Permanent Reminder of a temporary Feeling' and that is how I looked at tattoos.

So I have struggled to come up with an idea of how I can support and promote Tattoo World.

I decided to create a combination Fathers Day/tattoo post about two men I greatly admire. Father's Day is this Sunday here in the US.

My son in law learned to be a great father from his dad.

Richard Palmer and granddaughter Ashley

Dick died in 2017 after suffering quite cruely with MS and spending the last part of his life in a nursing facility.

Dick and his only child Christopher were very close. After his death, he was buried in the small town cemetery where he had lived and worked. As a tribute to his Dad, Chris and my daughter designed the tombstone with the engraving of this wonderful tree, and Chris made the decision to have this same tree design tattooed on his arm.

I love the design of the tree, but even more I am touched by the sentiment behind it. It is a permanent connection between father and son that celebrates their bond.
