A son has shared a photo of the tattoo he got to remember his mum by.

Thomas Resch decided to get the ink of his mum’s last written message to him because it was “beyond perfect.”

He also included an image of her “last real heartbeat” in the tattoo design.

Thomas took to Twitter to share the photo.

He wrote:

“My mom wrote me a note the day I moved out / the same day she passed, (also with her real last heartbeat).

“She lost mobility in her hands from her previous cardiac arrest so some people may see the words as messy but it’s beyond perfect in my eyes.

“I love you so much momma.”

Just beautiful.

Understandably, Thomas’s followers were only delighted by the tattoo, with many users saying that they were sorry for his loss and that the ink was “amazing.”

One user even shared a photo of their own tattoo that also included the last message their mother had written them.
