Some tattoos are about more than covering the past —…

Some tattoos are about more than covering the past — they’re about carrying someone forward. This piece is for my client’s grandfather, honored through Día de los Muertos–inspired skeletons and deep cowboy blue for Texas roots and lifelong loyalty 🏈💙 I’ve had the privilege of tattooing this family and their friends for years now, and moments like this are why I love what I do. Tattoos become stories. Stories become legacy. A little spooky. A little joyful. A lot of love. Forever riding along. 🤠💀
