Dove Cameron's Newest Tattoo Is A Sweet Tribute To Cameron Boyce

Actress Dove Cameron decided on a very special tribute in the form of a tattoo for her late friend and co-star Cameron Boyce.


Cameron headed to the Ten Thousand Waves Tattoo Gallery in Los Angeles, with Vogue tagging along for the experience, documenting it every step of the way. She talked briefly on why she selected the design on the way to the tattoo parlor before she etched it onto her skin forever.


"I hope to get a solitary needle, either like a pistol or a revolver or some kind of firearm, although I want it to have either like a solitary rose or like a bouquet coming out of it, because I am very anti-gun and I am very pro-gun regulation," Cameron mentioned of her choice. “And it’s group kind of like a nationally-recognized symbol for peace and for anti-gun movements."


"Also, my friend Cameron passed away a couple of months back and he was beginning this company called Wielding Peace. He wanted to get influential people holding things that order kind of looked like they were in the shape of a gun, yet then it could be something artsy or peaceful."


The Wielding Peace initiative included a series of photographs Cameron's friend Boyce had began before he passed that included famed faces holding "weapons" of unity as if they were gun seen as "items that signify unity and peace."


"Household items like musical instruments, cameras, food, sporting tools, aesthetics products, articles of clothing…anything that might inspire someone creatively along with make a strong statement with the sentiment that we need to pick a different weapon," he explained in an interview with Refinery29.


Cameron opted to place the tattoo on the outdoors of her left wrist, choosing a revolver with a rose shooting out of the barrel. It's a tasteful tribute to a friend who passed on, plus a reminder for the Liv & Maddie star to continue to pick peace.
