Description

In honor of my Uncle Jim, who's my father's brother, I designed this as a tattoo for my right ankle.

First image: Uncle Jim's artist mark.  It's a key, because our last name is Mackey (get it?)
Second image: Galifreyan.  JM for Jim Mackey.  He reminded me of my Doctor, Tom Baker.  They both had intense but kind eyes, a child-like belief that everything would be wonderful, a passion for life, and (I imagine for Tom Baker) the best hugs in the world.  Uncle Jim was 6'5". :)  His "M" has arms outstretched to envelop me, and one arm leading the way.
Third image: Galifreyan.  KM for Christa Mackey (there's no "C" in Galifreyan, so because it sounds like a "K" it *is* a "K").  My "M" shows arms outstretched and one arm following.
Final image: My artist mark.  It's based on Uncle Jim's and I've used it since I was about 10 when he told me what it was.  "Always sign your work," he said.  "Sign on the bottom right."

In 2013, I was in a car accident that caused severe damage to my right ankle.  I had to have surgery to fix it and there's now a nasty scar.  I want to use this tattoo to cover that scar....because "always sign your work on the bottom right..."  #RIPUncleJimmy

Sorry for your loss. :( That's a pretty darn cool tattoo though.
