Every BODY Has A Story - Two Hearts

“A bunch of people I know with a lot of tattoos end up having a ‘good’ side and a ‘bad’ side. Like flowers on one side and monsters on the other and stuff like that. One of my first tattoos was a banner on my right arm that said ‘Regret’ with sparrows around it. A little bit after I had that done, I met my wife and my life changed entirely.

I got the red heart, along with some others on my upper arms to symbolize how much I loved her, and we have a lot of matching heart tattoos. I ended up getting the black heart to balanced it out, though. You don’t want too much of ‘good’ or ‘bad’, but a balance.”
