Another Mike V inspired tattoo was sent our way… Read on…

This was my first tattoo at age 30. I always wanted a tattoo. My life, my marrige was falling apart. I have now lost my wife to alcoholism. My heart is broken from all this. At that point in my life I had lost all hope. Suicide became a option every day. Finacially I was drowning. My oldest daughter Izzy was always getting me to go skate with her after work. I always told her about a farm board I had and how I had the Powell one later on when she was a baby. A kid down the block gave me Mike V’s Greatest Hits & Stand Strong. Mike’s words gave me hope in life, skating and fatherhood. In all of these my daughters shared together. This elephant spoke to me. How they tolerate every kind of abuse but still have compassion and how in a sense, Mike saved my life. His words and this graphic is a daily reminder to always STAND STRONG & NEVER GIVE UP.
