Well in case anyone is interested I will give a quick overview of the meaning to them. I probably won’t be back on here until tonight or so.

First tattoo. Got it in 2007 by Adam Goldstein at AAA Tattoo II in Rogers, AR.
It is more of a reminder of a certain time of my life than it is just a band tattoo.

Fleur de Lis – Pain County Tattoo, Stillwater, OK
Second tattoo ever. Simple, but meaningful to me.

Brotherhood – @ ScapeGoat Tattoo, Portland, OR
My best friend served in the Marines searching for IEDs in Afganistan, hence the bomb.

Man & Mushroom Cloud – Yetti @ Brother’s Keeper Tattoo, Stillwater, OK
Shows a guy sitting against a mushroom cloud like it is a tree; turning his back to death and destruction and enjoying the life around him.

Velociraptor & Fossilized Human; done by Miguel Ochoa @ Lowrider Tattoos, Fountain Valley, CA
It means a lot to me, like the rest of my tattoos. It also kind of continues the scene with my Man & Mushroom Cloud tattoo with the relationship between turning your back to inevitable death to enjoy what life you have and appreciating life on this planet because it could easily be the other way around where dinosaurs are standing over our fossils.

Thanks for looking 😀
Oh and I’m definitely glad I found this site.
