A very special and meaningful tattoo full of special meanings

by Zach Whalen

Umm... I want, like, a coyfish, you know, cus like... it's for good luck, and I feel like, I just need some good luck right now because I'm going through a real tough time in my life, cus like, my mom just died... so maybe the coyfish could have, like, a tatoo of a heart with like... a banner across it that says "Mom." And, you know, that would just represent my mom, because she had such a big heart and I really miss her.

And could the coyfish have, like... like big butterfly wings because I just got over this really bad meth addiction and I just want something to show that I'm flying... like flying free, you know? And like, on one of the wings, could you put a cross, because I feel like it was really my faith that got me through this tough time in my life and I need something to remind me to keep up the faith no matter how hard life gets... and also could you make, like, one of the wings should be like a puzzle, and there is a piece of the puzzle... and it's, like, coming together? Just like my life is really starting to come together because I'm over my meth addiction, and I'm trying to get over the death of my mom who died a year ago this day... so if you could just incorporate all those ideas and make, like, this really beautiful symbol for my life...
