@rob.don_tattoo: Processing grief is an incomprehensible notion to some of us. We may understand in theory, but in practice, it’s a journey that’s uniquely painful to each of us. Good thing we don’t need to understand completely to offer community and support to those that need it. I’m grateful for those I cherish in my life, and to know that I’m cherished in turn. Sometimes I think about how we’ll all inevitably be gone, and the pain that comes from all good things coming to an end. I do believe there is magic to tattoos. There’s something special about the catharsis you get from a meaningful tattoo. Not sure if it’s the pain that makes us stay mindful, or the image itself, or the image itself, but it feels like alchemy sometimes. It’s an honor to be in a position to do such meaningful work for people. And to be chosen for this project… I love my work
