Getting our first Tattoo (Memory Tattoo Of our Stillborn Son, Poppy)

On the 28th December we got our first tattoo. We had never really cared or imagined we would do a tattoo. However, on the day our son was stillborn, the 25th November 2023 and while we were in the hospital after the delivery, I asked Tina if she wanted to get a tattoo in memory of our first son Poppy.
A tattoo, that would represent our family and mark our body forever as our soul and mind will be forever mark by our first son.
I show her a few examples of tattoo I found online, and we opted for a tattoo with 2 birds on a branch looking at another one flying away.
As we had agreed on the basic design, I checked for tattoo artist in Strasbourg and found one that looked great: JessyInk. I sent him an email the same day for some information and a few day later he told us that he could still do the tattoo before the end of the year and that it would cost 100€ per person.
A few day later, the 5th December, we popped by his studio, discussed our project, send him a few more design idea we had and told him the adjustment we wanted. That day we also validated an appointment for the 28th December and paid a downpayment.
Let’s discover this adventure!

Who are TheDailyPackers?! Alex & Tina & Poppy!?
We are just a regular couple sharing our daily life, travels and the story of Poppy, our stillborn son.
Our story started in China in 2014 where we met, and we lived 3 years. Since then, we have been to more than 41 countries together.
I am French and Tina is Serbian. We are now based in Strasbourg, France. The Daily Packers is original our travel blog where we share our experience travelling, wrote guides and reviews. Slowly it also became a place where we share some of our life.
Beginning 2023, we also started vlogging on KZbin as we wanted our son Poppy to see how we lived, travel and saw the world.
The 25 November 2023 should have been the happiest day of our life, sadly it marked the hardest days of our life. On that day our perfect baby boy, Poppy, was stillborn.
Vlogging and blogging is just a passion at the moment. I still have a full-time job and Tina is focusing on developing an online Yoga platform and studio.
