Kalina’s 9-11 Tribute Tattoo
The story behind this tattoo is pretty basic. This was my first tattoo, I now have 3. My aunt died is the attacks on the World Trade Center Twin Towers, and this is my way of remembering her. She was in the North Tower, on the 58th floor.
I didn’t get her name tattooed on me because it was just too much to take in. I felt it would have been too much pain for me, and this tattoo of the eagle and the Twin Towers and the Empire State building was a way to remember not just her but all of the others that lost their lives on that tragic day.
I want people to look at my tattoo and think about that sad day and how strong America is, and remember how important our country is to us. I don’t want people to look at it and just see a picture on my back. I want them to understand why it is there, and why it is important to me. The attacks on 9/11 isn’t something that should ever be forgot about in my eyes. And that is the story behind my tattoo!

Nice work. Alot of us in fire/ems/police who were on duty that day have artwork from 9/11. I have one myself. If you are looking for 9/11 tattoos from the emergency services, try strikethebox.com (possibly not work safe, b/c of some of the ads, i think). its a good website with all kinds of images.
It is strange, but getting that artwork was the 1st thing that helped me get past the loss of my friends.
