IN THE TRACE OF INK
Tattoo industry
She cut out a piece of her deceased husband's skin and framed it to preserve his tattoo!
55-year-old car dealer Tashe 'TJ' was found dead in his car. Following his death, his wife, Angelica Radevski, hired a company to cut a piece of skin from his arm containing his favorite tattoo, which she then framed and took home.
Angelica Radevski, 35, and her 55-year-old car dealer husband, Tashe 'TJ, were found unconscious in their truck outside a gym in Wheeling, West Virginia, on March 21.
Following TJ's death, Angelica made a surprising decision. To preserve the tattoo her husband had gotten on his right arm when he was 18, she requested that it be removed. She contacted 'Save My Ink Forever,' a company specializing in tattoo preservation, to organize the removal and initiate a 90-day protection procedure.
He cut up its skin and framed it.
Angelica, a mother of one, now displays the frame on a chair in the dining room because "hanging it on the wall doesn't feel right" to her, and she carries it in her lap when relatives/friends come to visit.
Angelica explains the situation: "This was something we talked to him about and got his approval for. Everyone involved had the feeling that 'this isn't right.' All our friends were really supportive, but some family members still don't fully understand. It's important to strike a balance between not getting into too many anatomical details and not scaring them when talking about it."
