Tattoos had never really been my thing. But since meeting Dex—and spending so much time up close and personal with his ink—I’d come to a new appreciation of them. They could be anything from beautiful body art to conversation pieces to a story of survival or honoring a loved one. There was so much variety, so much beauty in them. And Dex was incredibly talented. It wasn’t so much that I wanted a tattoo, rather that I wanted a piece of Dex’s art—something that could be a part of me.
