Angelamarie’s Bambino Shoulder Tattoo

I have two tattoos, but the one that means the most to me is the simplest. It is the word “Bambino”, tattooed on the back of my right shoulder.

I am five years older than my baby brother, and I used to call him Bambino when we were kids. Not sure why, we are German heritage, not Italian…but for some reason, it stuck.

When he was 28, he was diagnosed with colon cancer. When he was 29, he died. It was the most horrible thing in our lives. But I also found what was most important to me.

So now I wear his nickname from childhood on my body. He is the angel on my shoulder, watching out for me.
