In college and in the business world tattoos are frequently hidden in an effort to look more professional. But these students have tattoos with background stories that are too meaningful not to share.

Name: Aly Schmidt

Age: 19

Number of tattoos: one

Year: sophomore

Studying: politics with business law concentration, music minor

Hometown: Milwaukee, Wis.

“It’s from Dr. Seuss’, ‘Oh the Places You Will Go.’  It’s one of my favorite books, and it reminds me to be a kid at heart.”


Name: Shawn June

Age: 22

Number of tattoos: two

Year: junior

Studying: writing

Hometown: Centerville, Iowa

“When I was 10, I was in a severe car accident.  Four people were in the accident. Three were   killed and one was my younger brother. When he died, he had the Saint Michael guardian angel, so I wanted that to be a part of me. In the accident, I broke my left leg in three places, so I decided for it to be on my left leg.”


Name: Nick Budden

Age: 20

Number of tattoos: one

Year: sophomore

Studying: marketing and public relations

Hometown: Dyersville, Iowa

“It’s a bass clef. I’m very involved in music, and it’s done a lot for my life. Music has always been the one constant despite any sort of change. The lettering is my name in Greek, which translates to victory of the people. I’ve always been involved in teams. Whether it was track and cross-country, choir or being in a band, I constantly need to remind myself to put the team above myself.”

Name: Ian Wells

Year: sophomore

Number of tattoos: one

Studying: electronic media

Hometown: Champaign, Ill.

“Music is very important to me. It’s a big part of my life. I’ve been playing bass since sixth grade. I can also play guitar and mess around on the drums. I was in a band called ‘Self-Assembled.’ We were a middle school punk band. We actually recorded a four-song demo album and took third place in battle of the bands in our town.”

Name: Ellen Calder

Age: 18

Number of tattoos: one

Year: Freshman

Studying: elementary education

Hometown: Minneapolis, Minn.

“My sister and I planned on getting the tattoos for three years.  We got our matching tattoos done by the same person. Our parents got divorced, and it was ugly, so the lotus was symbolic because it rises through muck, and it’s still beautiful. It represents the possibility of coming out of an ugly situation strong.”
