BRAYSBIRTHDAYTATTOO

 💚

Hi everyone — it’s Braydon’s mom here! Braydon will be turning 17 on January 13, 2026.

As part of our family rule, he’s allowed one tattoo as long as it’s something he’s thought about deeply, hasn’t changed his mind on, and it holds real personal meaning.

He’s chosen two peace lilies — one for each of his late grandfathers. What makes it even more special is that he’s researched using a small amount of ashes mixed into the ink to honor his Grandpa Pikey (my dad) & found a trust tattoo artist to carry this out. 

The tattoo will cost up around $300, plus tip and a little extra to cover anything unexpected. While I do give him a set amount every birthday, this year he’ll need a bit more to make this tribute possible.

If you’d like to gift towards this or donate, that would mean so much — and if you can’t, simply sharing it is just as appreciated. 💚

Thank you all for reading and supporting Braydon as he honors his grandfathers in such a meaningful way.
