Call it a lifeline. A story. A legend. Pointed towards my heart, pushed forward by my past. Unfinished by design. To be completed as life unfolds…every album gets it’s own mark. As @kristianbush told me before I walked in, “you get to have some scars you choose.” And this one I did. Hello, tattoo world. #tattoo #ontheroad 🖋: @scottbarbier_tattoo
