This is great. Solid meaning an all. Bravo bro.
This is so cool I'm in Phoenix and have a similar story and I have been really thinking of getting the bear because I'm a huge kanye fan as well! This is awesome dude I might take from this whenever I finally decide to get mine!
I got this about 2 weeks ago at Sanctity Tattoo in Tucson, AZ.
I've been a huge Kanye fan for a long time, so I figured this tattoo fit me perfectly. It has a few different meanings, but overall I just like the design.
A little back story. I moved across the country about 4 months ago by myself for work. I left everybody I know and love behind to start on my own journey.
I loved the graduation bear, and I stumbled upon this a while back. That lead me to finding this which is what the tattoo is.
The 808's heart in bright red represents the heartbreak and loss I've suffered, as well as the end of one chapter. On the other hand, the brightly colored eyes, from the Graduation album, represents new beginnings and everything that my future has in store for me. I also really liked that it's a bear in a suit, almost like a wolf in sheep's clothing. I wear a suit to my job every day and love it, but on the inside I feel that I'm just like the bear and I'm putting on an act.
I'm sure most of you here share the same feelings about Kanye as I do. As he says on his VH1 story tellers album, as well as in a few "rants" he's outspoken to show us that we can be too. He does what he wants to do to give others the courage to do what they want to do. He's a role model to me and I felt this was a great way to show it, but to also do something for myself.
that's amazing, bro.
Great story to go along with the tattoo. Nice to see Kanye's influence is so far reaching.
