Jake has been getting some work done all in the name of a very important person. In case you haven’t seen him speak of her, Jake’s mother, Carolyn, passed away, unexpectedly, on January 18th, 2014. You may have heard about her before with the song Carolyn off their album, We Stitch These Wounds. In the past, she had battled with illness but seemed to be doing alright as of recent.
First time we hear of the tattoos was on Tuesday, February 4th when he posted this tweet:
Which he followed up with on Wednesday, February 5th with this instagram post and tweet, which showcased the beginnings of the chest piece as well as the original picture:
Yesterday, Saturday, February 9th, we got another update on instagram and twitter after his second tattoo session:
It’s looking beautiful already and we look forward to seeing more about how it is going, especially on Thursday, which he mentions it will get some color.
The tattoo is being done by Sara Lou who works at Forgotten Saints tattoo on Melrose Ave in Los Angeles, CA. You can view her work at her instagram, http://instagram.com/saraloutattoo or her website, http://www.saraloutattoo.com. You can also view her web address and email on her instagram profile as well. Maybe if you like her work or another artist at the shop you can get something for yourself.
How many of you have a tattoo for someone you care about or someone who has passed? I have one for my own mom, who passed a few years ago, in the works. Comment about them here and have a wonderful day army!
