Some tattoos hold onto fragments of life that might otherwise fade: a familiar voice, a shared joke, a place that still lingers somewhere in memory. Not polished or perfect, but honest. A child’s sketch, a word that carries weight, an image that brings you back to a specific moment—things that might seem ordinary from the outside, yet feel essential from within.
What gives them value isn’t how they look, but what they reference. Below is a selection of pieces shared by our clients—each one tied to something specific, even if that meaning isn’t immediately visible.

My Favourite Drawing They’ve Ever Done
A simple teddy bear, drawn by his child and recreated exactly as it was. No changes, no corrections—just a memory, kept forever.
These tattoos are a reminder that meaning doesn’t have to be complex to matter. It can be something small, playful, or even slightly absurd, something that might not make sense to anyone else, but holds real significance for the person wearing it.
They’re not made to impress. They come from more personal places—family, memory, identity, the quiet details that shape who you are. A parent’s name, a child’s drawing, a favourite meal, or a fragment of childhood that still lingers.
In the end, it’s rarely about the tattoo itself. It’s about the story it carries, and the reason it stayed.
Faith And Strength
For some, belief is what carried them through the hardest moments.
“For the moments when faith was all he had.”
Faith... and the idolatrous face of Big Sky Daddy's magic son on his arm. "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth." Exodus 20:4-5. Also I'm pretty sure the Bible says not to tattoo one's body in Leviticus 19:28! :D
Faith And Strength
“A small piece of home, always there.”
Love That Lasts Beyond A Lifetime
Her favourite flowers, and the two dates that changed everything.
Not Everything Has To Be Deep
Some tattoos are just about happiness—a favourite food, a shared joke, or something that instantly lifts your mood.
More Than Just A Pet
They’re part of the family, in every way that matters.
“Not just a pet—family, always.”
Shared Passions
The things you pass down matter just as much as anything else.
“The things they love, passed from one to the next.”
Where He Comes From
Heritage doesn’t always need explaining.
“Rooted in Scotland, no matter how far I go.”
Moments That Stay Forever
For his daughter—forever his little one.
“Because they don’t stay this little for long."
Friendship, Made Permanent
Some bonds are simple—but they last.
“A small reminder of the people who stayed.”
Holding Onto What He Loved Growing Up
Not all memories come from people—some come from the things that shaped your childhood. Tattoos like this are a way of keeping that connection alive.
A Name That Started It All
Some tattoos say everything in just a few letters. Mom’s name on his forearm.
“Everything I am started with her.”
The artistry and talent are amazing. Love all the sentiments behind each tattoo.
