My tattoo is a combination of two trucks; the truck my father had when I was a kid, and my father’s first truck. It is a tattoo I share with my siblings. About 6 months ago my father was diagnosed with liver cancer. My siblings and I all decided we had to get something in solidarity with him, and we came up with this design. He passed about a week ago and thus the meaning of the tattoo changed from solidarity to remembrance. My father and I would often say to each other “Keep on trucking” while he was going through treatments for his cancer. This tattoo also serves as a reminder to do just that, even when he isn’t here to tell me to do so.
