Rey Ortiz, a sophomore organizational communication major, explains the meaning behind his tattoos: "My tattoo is sort of like the gates of heaven opening up, with my mothers name because she passed away, I got it for her. My mothers on my heart because I always keep her there...I think they look cool, and having a reason behind them makes them even better. All my tattoos have meaning so I don’t regret any of them, and I plan to get more as I develop as a human being...One of my professors once looked at me and said ‘wow, you seem too young to have tattoos.’ I was a freshman at the time. He started to tell me ‘You’re a freshman in college, did you not think about how this was going to affect you?’ and just thought, well, if they mean so much to me, why not?”
