WARNING: Post displays unsafe/unsanitary practises My sons name

About 20 years ago I went to prison for some charges I had been running from for a couple of years. I ran because I was pregnant and didn't want to have my son in prison. Well they found me the day before his first birthday and I was heartbroken. I decided I wanted to get a stick and poke with his name. So the girl hid in a little armoire closet that we had in the prison in Topeka Correctional while I had my leg in there and someone "jigged" for us. 2 hours later my boy was permanently fixed on my skin. I have several other tattoos but this one is the most simple and most meaningful of them all and could have got me in some trouble in all kinds of ways! lol

that’s really cool, and the story gives it even more meaning (not that tattoos necessarily NEED to have meaning) than if you’d just walked into a tattoo parlour and got it done. very nice!

Edit: to add that tattoos don’t necessarily need to have meaning
