Losing someone is never easy, especially a family member. Recovering from the loss can takes days, months and sometimes years. A man who lost his beloved grandparents last year found a permanent way to keep them close. As a tribute, the man got himself tattooed with images of the things that defined them.
One of his tattoos included a floral cup of tea, dedicated to his grandmother who loved having hot beverages regularly. Another tattoo included a caricature of a tiger wearing a vest and checkered lungi. The tiger caricature is also hiding something in his hand and the man explained that it is imlis (tamarind). Twitter user pettyparthy got personalised tattoos on his body as a remembrance.
