theres a really really long story behind it so i'll just spark note it.
basically, my biological father was addicting to mass drugs and was in the whole so-cal punk scene, was in and out of prison and rehab for about 15 years. the last time he was in jail, he had a spiritual intervention was "saved" by religion. i don't care what you believe in, religion saved his life.. he's been clean for years and is the biggest hero for getting out of the hole he was in. he's in a Cristian punk band called Call to Glory that just got signed, has a tv show called "The Uprising" and has a wife and two beautiful children. this tattoo is for him, and the inspiration he's passed along to me.
the cross symbolizes the obvious: religion
the spikes on the cross symbolize his (and my) life is rough around the edges
"carry me home" symbolizes his peace within himself after he found religion. (also from a social distortion song)
