| well, galaxies are kind of a spiritual symbol for me... basically the way elements are recycled through deaths of stars to form EVERYTHING... idk it's always fascinated me. and i originally envisioned a peace dove for this tattoo, because rob was all about peace and love.. he was the president of the Student Peace Alliance at SU, led all kinds of peace-related activities. then when the tattoo got done, it looked more like a phoenix or an eagle... both of which i felt were appropriate. Rob had a mentor at SU who was native american, and he actually earned an eagle feather with the dude's 2 sons. all feathers from the same eagle. so when it turned out more eagle-ish i was actually excited. i say phoenix because it kind of shows how something beautiful, like rebirth, awakening, love can come out of something disasterous or tragic. the date on the tattoo is the date that he died. i love the piece, and i'm really happy with the way it turned out... it's just HUGE!!!! i didn't expect it to be so big haha |
