Kelly Remembers her Grandmother

Labels:

, , ,

    This awesome portrait was jumping off of Kelly's right shoulder in Penn Plaza last Wednesday.

    Kelly has ten tattoos in all, but she chose this portrait for Tattoosday, inked six years ago by Joey Ortega at Kingpin Tattoos in Harker Heights, Texas.

    This was, according to Kelly, Ortega's first portrait, and he created for her a lasting memorial to her grandmother, who had meant the world to her.

    The portrait is accompanied by the phrase "may angels lead you in," a lyric from the song "Hear You Me" by the band Jimmy Eat World:

    May angels lead you in
    Hear you me my friends
    On sleepless roads, the sleepless go
    May angels lead you in

    Kelly was in town visiting with her friend Amber. They have matching tattoos. See them below here.

    Thanks to Kelly for sharing such a meaningful tattoo here with us on Tattoosday!
