Deciding on getting a tattoo can be a big step for some of us. Others know that getting one is exactly what they need in the here and now. Honoring special people in their lives, celebrating milestones, and overcoming hardships, tattoos can heal some parts of us and remind us every day that it’s all good.

After witnessing the meanings behind some of the next tattoos, all of us at Bright Side knew we had to share them with you!

1. “Memorial tattoo for my baby I never met”

2. “Got my first tattoo today in memory of my grandma.”

3. “My first ’big’ tattoo in memory of my cat who helped me through my childhood”

“This is my childhood cat. I spent many days just hugging my poor cat soaking her with my tears. No matter how long I hugged her, how many times I picked her up, or how wet she got from my tears she endured it. Never once resisted, hissed, or bit me. She didn’t even try to leave my side. I cannot express how much I loved her and how much she helped me. Thank you, Blue.”
