fuckyeahtattoos: “From winter brings the spring again”  Done by Greg Caggiano in Rochester, NY. He is the only tattoo artist I trust & the most unique one I know (and also a good friend). I got this tattoo after I was brutally attacked and almost murdered my senior year in high school. By a friend who incidentally was very mentally ill. I was supposed to go see Anberlin, Circa Survive, and Foxy Shazaam for my attacker’s birthday but it ended up being the day after I got out of the hospital. Well, somehow my friend got a hold of Anberlin’s manager, they showed up at my house, gave me all of the merch on the tour, everyone had signed a card for me and they arranged for anyone I wanted and me to get in VIP and sit up on the balcony of Waterstreet Music Hall and watch out of harm’s way. Anthony Green of Circa Survive pulled me into a bear hug and told me I inspired him. The man who has been inspiring me since I was twelve. We talked for a few minutes before the show and all of the bands dedicated somehow perfectly relevant songs to me. Anthony also made this speech about being able to do whatever you want to do in life. The whole experience was 100% the most spiritual and meaningful I’ve ever had. Anyway, Circa Survive had kind of been my sound track in the preceding months and the lyrics are from my favorite song “In the Morning and Amazing.” It just so happened that they ended up having a hugely profound meaning.  “Looking right through the lens, from winter brings the spring again.” I am a photographer who was stabbed in the left eye. Before this happened, my life was dark and isolated and in pieces. After this event, I was ENGULFED in the love and support that had been there all along, but was just laying dormant. No matter how dark and dismal things seem, no matter how deft the winter, the sun and the spring will always come back around. Such is the natural cycle of our universe and everything in it.
