I've seen a father tattoo his daughter's name on his arm after she died. I've heard about patients in palliative care who tattoo an inspirational quote on their body, something to give them hope, or maybe it's control, or maybe it's something to love about their bodies in the midst of abandonment, or maybe something to caress, maybe its a conversation changer, or maybe it's a coping mechanism, or maybe it's just...fun. It is not a flashy statement, it is just a statement.

I am here.
She was here.
