Hi everyone,

I'm putting this together as a surprise for Mathias. He has his very first tattoo appointment scheduled for Tuesday the 26th- a meaningful memorial piece on his calf of the image here showing Mario facing the ocean. This was the image used in the Newspaper in Nauen, as well as the leading image for everything that was at the funeral-an image created by Mathias.

Right now, he’s planning to cover the cost himself between this paycheck and the next, but I thought it would be special if his close friends and family could come together to make this moment even more meaningful. Any contribution, big or small, will go directly toward his tattoo so he doesn’t have to stress about the cost.

This tattoo will mean so much to him, and knowing that it was made possible by the love and support of those closest to him will make it even more powerful.

Thank you for helping us make this surprise happen!
