Korean adoptee on Miami Ink
by guest contributor Jae Ran Kim, originally published at Harlow’s Monkey
The young woman explains in the episode that she went through a very difficult time growing up in the Jersey area as the only Korean child around, went through a lot of racial identity issues and had problems with trust and attachment and abandonment.
She and her adoptive mother both had Darren tattoo the same basic design, a triangle (representing the adoption triad, first mother, adoptive mother and child) intertwined with a heart.

I saw the episode and know what symbol you’re looking for. If you go to http://www.gladneyfund.org/ there is a link at the bottom of the page to order the “Triangle of Love” jewelry… or to get a picture of the design. I’m also an adoptee and recently found my biological siblings. I’m going to go meet them very soon and hopefully we’ll all get matching tattoos of the symbol.
