The Bear on Roller Skates has a lot of hidden meaning behind it. Circus bears were once a great source of entertainment and people loved to watch them perform but to get to that point they had to undergoe unspeakable horrors inorder to be trained to perform. Skates would be nailed to their feet and their front paws would be spiked so it would be to painful to put any wieght on them. This tattoo is a reminder to never judge anything or anyone at face value. Life is a circus and we all must perform but never forget that we all have a past and deserve to be respected. #bearonrollerskates #bear #circus #rollerskates #oldphoto #history
