Every Tattoo Has A Story
My brother is in the army and before he headed to Iraq, we wanted to get tattoos together for sentimental reasons and because we are both obsessed with them. Both our names start with "A" and our last name is Dymond. We both love Texas Hold'em Poker and have many memories playing together so we decided to get a playing card, but not just any playing card. He would get the king of diamonds and I would get the queen of diamonds. Within the card, our king and queen is also holding the ace of diamonds card. The ace stands for our first initial and the diamond represents our last name. I will be adding stars because that's my middle name and I believe he will be adding the rest of the royal flush! I love my tattoo.

I have many tattoos but the one I love the most is the portrait of my daughter, Ruby. It was done by Rob Dringenberg, at Ink'd Chronicles.

I believe every society deserves the serial killers that they get. Since Leather Face was based on a true story, I got this tattoo. It was done by Mark at Ink'd Chronicles.

My wonderful wife and sons gave me an Ink'd Chronicles gift card for Christmas. I love to do are play guitar and lift weights, and I'm a Taurus, so the vision in my head was to put it all together in a tattoo, on my shoulder. Big Ceeze, the artist at Ink'd Chronicles, took my vision and created this tattoo for me. It's perfect!

I wanted my tattoo to match a tribal tattoo on my back but have a celtic knot incorporated in it. I brought in all the pieces to the puzzle and returned later to see the design. It was exactly what I had envisioned and somewhat reminiscent of an archers sleeve. I love how it grabs a hold of my arm like another entity. The symmetry and size of the celtic knot was perfect and after 8 years it looks as good as it did in the first. I can't wait to do my other arm!

When I was fifteen, me and my great grandma started writing letters back and forth. She only came around at holidays because the commute was too far. When we wrote letters, she would confide in me and tell me stories she hadn't shared with anyone else. We became best friends. When she passed away in the fall of 2009 she left me a few things: some antiques and a Taurus necklace that she wore almost every day. The necklace symbolizes her in one solid figure. A bull is a fighter, strong, brave, not afraid of anything that comes in its way, all the things my grandma was. So I got a bull tattoo, by Mark, at Ink'd Chronicles.

My new tattoos are a tribute to my father who died last year on March 1, 2007. He was a Highway Patrolmen for 33 years and had just retired. He passed away with colon cancer. The tattoos on my left arm are his initials: AMG. The tattoo on the right arm is his badge number in Chinese. Since my father's name was Angel, I am in the process of having angel wings tattooed on my back. I love my tattoos, and I love Ink'd Chronicles! Not just for there awesome art. They are like family!!! The work they have done means a lot to me. They have my business for life!! Always rock your tattoos like they are your badge of honor!!! God Bless!!!

My tattoo is for my uncle who passed away in 2007. He was an avid magician so I got four aces tattooed along with a banner with his name and his years. The tattoo had a traditional feel, which I feel, gives it a lot of character.

Who I am? Beautiful, intelligent, witty, ambitious, and driven, these are just a few facets of my persona. That is what I see in the mirror. Unfortunately when others see me, all they see is someone who is disabled. It is hard to hide, especially since I have a wheelchair attached to my butt, but as people get to know the real me, they discover that I am not disabled and I am capable of many things. Unfortunately, those that I meet on the streets on my way to work or at a club only have a second to make a judgment. That one second judgment comes out as DISABLED. So I tattooed my true identity, GORGEOUS, which will make a bigger impact than DISABLED
