In Memory Of...
Griefwarehouse.org is an incredibly touching page dedicated entirely to immortalizing the memory of children that have tragically passed away. All of the stories are both compelling and compassionate. Interestingly, the tattoo parlor doubles as a therapy lounge for grief stricken parents. For some, getting a tattoo of a lost child can in some way help them to deal with their grief. The site also provides a link to a tattoo support group meeting, in which a bunch of parents get together at a particular tattoo parlor, and either touch-up old memorial tattoos or design new ones.

Tonite my stepson and my youngest (19) asked me about what I thought about them getting a tattoo in memory of their brother Christopher that fought a almost 5 year battle with cancer. Chris has been gone almost a year (Feb. 28/06) and to think the boys plus a friend of my son want to get this done is very touching, even I am now giving serious thought to this idea.
I just want to be sure we catch the essence of who my Christopher was, a great kid, a hero, loved kill your parents music and would have been an awesome skateboarder if cancer had not robbed him of his life...Forever 19
