Memorial Gone Wrong for my Impatience
What about it?
Long story short.
Lost my father when I was 11 to lung cancer. He used to work on trains for CSX. When I was 17, I started dating my partner (still together). Well, her older sister's boyfriend was in the process of his apprenticeship to become a tattoo artist. He had tattooed both of her sisters, and the tattoos weren't terrible. So, I asked if he wanted to do this piece for me for my Dad.
Big effin' mistake.
It's supposed to be a railroad crossing sign with his name, years of birth/death, with the words "In loving memory" and cancer ribbons.
I have regretted this tattoo for the past 11 years.
I don't want it covered up, but I want it... Fixed. If it can even be fixed. I just don't even know where to begin. So I just shamefully walk around with this constantly.
If only I could go back in time and punch myself in the face, I would.
Oh, and he never became a tattoo artist.
