If you've ever talked to your friends about getting a tattoo,Sister the one thing they'll probably tell you is to make sure the tattoo is something meaningful.
For Douglas Pratt, father of two, that something meaningful comes in the form of his sons. That's why for his first tattoo, Pratt got an image of him and his two sons sharing a happy moment in the style of Calvin and Hobbes.

In the comments on his Reddit post, Platt shared the reason behind the Calvin and Hobbesstylization.
"I grew up reading the comic strip with my dad. It was one of the first things that we really connected on," Platt said. "It is just something that I wanted to share with my boys. Also, the artwork is great in those comics."
The tattoo was done at Novellus Studios in College Station, Texas, by artist Jason Calvin. Platt stated that the tattoo was done in one three-hour session.
Unsurprisingly, many who saw the picture were curious about why one of the boys was dressed in a little animal costume. Some also pointed out that the little boy was missing a left hand.
"My oldest son is constantly in either footie pajamas or a costume of some kind. One of his favorite costumes is a fox costume. So he's in a fox costume," Platt explained in a Reddit comment.
As for the hand, Platt shared in another comment, "My oldest was born without a left hand so that was on purpose."
What an absolutely perfect way to commemorate a beautiful family.
