I got excited when I saw 's idea of having a #tattoocontest. I think I was never part of a contest before, well there's always a first time for everything I guess.
I have 3 tattoos but I will just post a picture of one, because there's a huge huge meaning for me. It was my first tattoo ever.
My dad passed away when I was 19. It was the worst day of my life. My dad was everything to me. He used to work a lot, and I mean A LOT.
But when he had some free time we used to do some really nice stuff together.
Sometimes I stop and think that life can be really unfair, my dad had a huge heart and he was all the time helping other people.
I knew a few days after he left this world I really wanted to honor him somehow. I wasn't into tattoos back then, I thought it wasn't for me or I wouldn't look good.
Then one day I decided to move to California.
But I had no idea what tattoo I wanted.
One night I was watching the Lion King (we used to watch Lion King a lot together!), and remember the scene when Simba was running on the fields and he sees his father on the clouds saying "don't forget who you are"?
Then I was like: THAT'S WHAT A I WANT. But I had no idea if a tattoo artist could transform that scene into a tattoo. But then I met the fantastic italian tattoo artist in West Hollywood, Marco Cerretelli, and he did an awesome job on my right arm.
