When reading both the Sarnecki and Gentry & Alderman articles, I kept thinking about how a powerful way to tattoo trauma would be through song lyrics. I know a lot of people use song lyrics to get them through challenging times, and so I figured this would be a way people would want to express their growth in getting through those challenges. So I searched some examples of this and found multiple people who tattooed song lyrics on themselves, and they all had a moving story associated with it. I think it’s really cool how other people can see those song lyrics and connect to them because they know them and yet have a totally different experience with them. Songs hold a strong memory trace involving everything a person was feeling or going through when they listened to that song, and so song lyric tattoos are a beautiful way to tell that story and embody that resilience.
