In a heartfelt tribute that combines love and memory, TikToker Angelica is gaining attention for a unique way of honoring her late husband: she has preserved a piece of his tattooed skin. This is a real part of him, complete with hair and wrinkles, featuring his favorite tattoo of the Pittsburgh Steelers, which she has framed and displayed.

In a video shared on TikTok on July 23, Angelica revealed a framed tattoo that shows a skull decorated in Steelers colors and logo, all neatly contained within a black frame. The caption resembles a love letter to her husband, stating, "This isn't a replica. You can see his hair, his wrinkles, the ink I kissed goodnight." The choice of tattoo wasn't made randomly. Angelica explained that their young son, given the chance to choose from over 70 tattoos on his dad's body, picked this particular one.

For them, this framed tattoo is a meaningful piece that reminds them of a man they loved dearly, offering comfort and connection to his spirit and personality.
