Inked Encounters

The day before Thanksgiving, she lost her father to cancer.

One thing they always did together was look for daffodils while driving. 🌼

When she came in for this tattoo, I chose the appointment date for her without realizing it was his birthday. Some moments just feel meant to be.

This daffodil is for him.

Stories like this are why Inked Encounters exists. 🖤

She’s 18 years old.
Her mom is fighting stage 4 cancer.

When life feels uncertain, moments together become everything. This tattoo wasn’t just about ink — it was about holding onto strength, love, and time that matters right now.

If you or someone you love has a story that deserves to live on through a tattoo, I want to hear it. Tag them or reach out. This is what Inked Encounters is about. ❤️
