In this photo you see four family members — a father, an older brother, and twin younger brothers — all of which have a Roman Numeral “III” tattooed on them. If you look carefully you can see that the shading is slightly different on all of them. The father has all three digits tattooed black. The oldest brother has the first one tattooed black, and the older twin has the second digit black, and the youngest twin has his third digit tattooed black. What a wonderful way to record ones’ bond in flesh.

great! i love how other than the different shading, you can definitely tell which one is the dad because of the pale, hairy calf.

Apparently our family tats weren’t cool or interesting or unique enough…? At least they’re posted to BMEink for the wider community.

FYI, my daughter is on the left, she chose the dancing penguin; my son is on the right, he chose the Celtic shamrock with the Irish flag colors.

ChillyMama, do you have any idea how many photos get submitted to BME every day? Shannon picks one or two to put on here, I wouldn’t take it personally if I were you.

I really dig that idea. At first I chuckled at seeing four legs w/ a 3 on them, but after I read the description it all made sense.

That is spectacular. I’d love to know how heavily modded the four of them are otherwise; for some reason it’s cooler to me if these are their only tattoos.

very cool!

Aww so sweet!
Chillymama – Honestly, those tattoos don’t even match so greatly. Te penguins look pretty badly done and only two of you have the celtic shamrock. Don’t be insulted anyway…Shannon posts what appeals to HIM, not what he thinks will be the most interesting in terms of getting views.

Sorry folks, BAD DAY. No offense Shannon, I know you get tons of submissions every day.
BTW, Alice White, I’ll let Jon know how you feel about his work.
