Description: It was a memorial for my father who passed away when I was 12. He was a retired firefighter and when they went to lay him in the ground, his helmet was handed to me by one of his fellow firefighters, which explains the arms holding out the helmet. The tattoo of the helmet was freehanded from the actual helmet my dad wore when he served.
