At Nemkund, we love looking at photos and stories that reveal people’s lives, so in today’s article we’ve collected 20 tattoos that have a much deeper meaning than you might think at first glance.
1 “I was very happy when I had it done last year. Now I look at it with a slight sadness. Rest in peace.”
2 “My favourite tattoo is the lifelike image of my dog’s paw. It will stay on my ankle forever.”
3 “My father passed away 2 months ago. Today is his birthday. He always wanted us to have the same tattoos.”
4 “Yesterday I had the portrait of my dog, who died 3 years ago, sewn on me.”
5 “In my grandmother’s house, each guest had his own cup. Mine was decorated with thistles. I drank from it every time I visited my grandma.”

7 “Tattoo of me and my sister. It’s the two of us against the Universe.”
8 “I decided to get my first tattoo when I was 23. A lot of people don’t realise I have a hearing problem until I warn them, so this little guide might be useful.”
9 “Just a silhouette of my father, who died last July.”
