“On my arm I have two ribbons on my wrist; one is black and that is for melanoma, and one is purple for domestic violence. Also on my forearm I have two sound waves. The one on top, the smaller sound wave, is of the last conversation that I had with my stepdad and the bottom one is his laugh. My stepdad was diagnosed with stage-three melanoma cancer in 2011. He went through various treatments, and medical trials, however the cancer was just getting worse. He died on September 29^th, 2014. I had already gotten the black ribbon tattoo while he was alive to show support, but after that I really debated what else I wanted to get. So I decided to use one of my last real conversations with him that I had recorded, and broke it down to use the sound waves for the tattoo.”
