“I have two tattoos. One of them is a rose, which is the start of a full sleeve that I am getting. My plan for my sleeve is to get a separate rose for each member of my family. This one hurt a little more than my first tattoo because the pain levels can be different depending on where you get them. My other tattoo is a skull with drumsticks going through it. I have been playing the drums since the seventh grade, and the tattoo helps represent how music has been a big part of my life and shaped me into who I am today. I personally like the idea of students getting tattoos, it is a great way for someone to express themselves. They also usually have a deeper meaning to the person who gets them, like my rose tattoo for example.” -senior Brad Pattan
