18 People Show Their Tattoos And Shared Incredible Story Behind It
Everyone has a story to tell.
Some people get tattoos because they look cool. Some take one to embody their personalities or hobbies. Others may have stories to tell through their tattoos. Stories that they wish to immortalize on their body in the form of a symbolic drawing.
These are tattoos with such stories, and they may not look exceptionally picturesque or complicated. But these tattoos are beautiful the way they are, just like old cups from time periods of the past contain stories of old that we’ve yet to uncover!
“Fish Bones.”
“Finally got to do something creative with my ugly shoulder scar. Shoulder dislocated more times than I could count but originally it was from MMA and lifting.”

“I’ve been obsessed with LOTR for most of my life. The tattoo traces the part of the trail that Frodo and Aragorn travel together (Bree to Amon Hen). My boyfriend and I were very much in love when I survived a violent attack that almost ended my life – let’s call that Weathertop.
After that, he became my guide and protector. He supported me physically, emotionally, and financially. He gave more than I thought possible for another person to give. Like Frodo and Aragorn, it was eventually time to go our separate ways. Not because we stopped loving each other, but because we both had different paths to walk.
I’m so happy I got to experience such deep love, even if that meant a painful end. On to the next chapter.”

“I am from Canada, and someone from New Zealand reached out to me asking if they can get a color realism tattoo of one of the cross foxes I’ve photographed. Here is the result.”
