Gold: A Mother's Kiss
July 18, 2018
Keiara Wade, right, kisses the forehead of her daughter, Taylor, while being given a tattoo on a kitchen table by artist Matthew Lloyd on July 18th, 2018. The design depicts a dream catcher with rosary beads and a cross dangling below. Wade says tattoos play an important role in her life. “I have tattoos that represent people who love me, and some that I’ve lost,” she says. On her right arm, she has two tattoos that memorialize her grandfather, who helped raise her, and her brother, who was shot and killed in front of her grandmother’s house four years ago. She says that the memory of her brother, Jarrod Taylor, lives on in her daughter, who was named after him.
