March 13, 2024
The story behind this dad's tattoo is heartbreaking, But it's also quite a lovely tribute to his daughter, who passed away from cancer.
Losing a child is one of the hardest things a parent might have to go through. This father found a way to remember her. He posted on Instagram, sharing a photo of the drawing and tattoo with the caption, “My daughter passed away from cancer, before she died she made this drawing for me, now I wear it on my skin.”

The dad's tattoo matches the drawing exactly. It is a heart in a circle with, "I love you Dad" written in a child's handwriting. He can always look at the tattoo, always remember the drawing, and hold it close to his heart. The tattoo is a memory he will always carry with him.
The dad's tattoo was pretty popular with people in the comments.
