I got my tattoos in honor of my mom and granddad after they passed away last year in a car wreck. I am truly blessed because I was
supposed to be in the car, but I was dropped off at my grannys house right before the accident. DaQuane Drain (12)| Both my mom
and I believe that praise really is the key to heaven. After much discussion, I was inspired to get a tattoo t hat quoted our beliefs.Darnell
Gardner (11)| My tattoo [of grow.. live.. laugh] helped me get through the hard times in my life, Curry said. You need these qualities
to get through it all.Gina Curry (12)
The needles carved into Clint Riggles (11) chest, drawing forth dots of
blood. Rock music helped him relax under the pressure of the needle. The
yellow and turquoise walls of the Golden Lotus Tattoos in the Highlands
created a mellow atmosphere, and the tattoo artist tried to calm Riggle
with conversation. His jaw began to unclench as other artists walked
through and commented on the tattoo forming.
I wanted an Easter Island monolith with mushrooms because Ive
always expressed interest in the paranormal and unexplained, Riggle said.
The dark green and violet depiction of a stone Easter Island head at sunset
eventually covered the right side of his chest.
Not everyone felt the same way about getting a tattoo. Ms. Christy
Causey (English) had Riggle as a freshman and said she gave him the
same speech she gives every year. I think tattoos are like marriage and
starting a family: you shouldnt be having them when youre a teenager.
According to a 2006 study done by the Pew Research Center, nearly
half of people age 18-25 have a tattoo. The popularity has spread to a
younger audience, with a number of minors considering body art.
Naiyana Williams (12) was one of those students. Her back displayed
the word Black in honor of her deceased father. He used to always
tease that my sisters and I would never get his name on our bodies,she
said, but I did.
Zachary Meeks-Steiger (11), a friend of Riggle, said that he wouldconsider going under the needle too. Its a self-preservation thing, said
Meeks-Steiger. Ive seen so much amazing art over the past years, so why
not try to preserve that as my own?
Riggle was ready to weather the potential criticismand deal with the
discomfort. Riggle specically remembered the feeling of getting his tattoo,
describing it as awkward, like a cat scratching at sunburned skin. The
pain is well worth the lifetime artwork youll have on your body, he said.

I got my tattoo the day I turned 16 at the Ink Well,Matthew Pardue (12) said. The initials S.R.P were
inscribed in a golden ribbon wrapped across Pardues
shoulder. The tattoo was in honor of his brother,
Samuel Reed Pardue, who passed in 2001 from
rhabdomyosarcoma, a soft tissue cancer.
Pardue also committed to helping the St. Baldricks
Foundation. Every year, he shaved his head in honor
of his brother. But that wasnt all . In a span of six
years, my family, friends and myself have raised over
$300,000 for a foundation we set up in honor of
himthe Samuel Foundation, Pardue said.

I love Sharpies and henna, Karlin Kimmel
(11) said. I draw on people.Well, people
ask me to draw on them. Feathers mostly.
Her ability sparked an interest in tattoo art
as well as art education.
If you have an old picture that you
havent seen for years, it brings you back to
the day it was taken, Kimmel said. Every
time someone sees their tattoo, the
memories and emotions from when they
got it come back.
Kimmel believed tattoos should bethoughtful self-expressions. When I
put something decorative on someone,
I dont want people to feel like they
regretted it, she said. A tattoo should
mean something.

tattoo, Riggle had part of his chest shaved at the tattoo parlor. 3The needle sketches across
Riggles body for the rst time, permanently creating a mar k on hi s chest. This began the
outline of Riggles tattoo. 4 After the outlining Riggles tattoo was complete, color was added

|The process of outlining Riggles tattoo was

take one or two hours because its only six orseven inches tall, Riggle said. The tattoo was

Carlee Harlows (9) ankle tattoo read Harlow in script, which matched the
one on her sisters calf. The tattoos were dedicated to their cousin Evan who was
killed less than a mile from his home on April 30, 2007. He was chased by police
for one mile before slowing. When he turned toward them, he was shot 11 times
above his waist.
The ofcer was later investigated and cleared of all charges.
What happened to Evan really affected our decision to get a tattoo, Harlow
said. We wanted to let his name live on. Ever since that happened, we take more
pride in our name.
