All the bridges and a few of the buildings are Pittsburgh landmarks, like PPG Place<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbev29N4b2kLUoz9zySBB6qj4gIYkpuxxGZZJBRoFgboOjixVPcLSUQLpkD7yLZiX33S7-rK_aBtK3BgZidJdJDHie-EjqvR16f8rmcCrrYKW8FPHRLRxmNeeV1f8I0fGhke4nqA3z50c/s1600/Pittsburgh-pennsylvania-ppg-place-2007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbev29N4b2kLUoz9zySBB6qj4gIYkpuxxGZZJBRoFgboOjixVPcLSUQLpkD7yLZiX33S7-rK_aBtK3BgZidJdJDHie-EjqvR16f8rmcCrrYKW8FPHRLRxmNeeV1f8I0fGhke4nqA3z50c/s320/Pittsburgh-pennsylvania-ppg-place-2007.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />and the Highmark Building.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgldNuDFHLPXwJ2LfSDQoCiveRbGvGt2SBKT7MAhAkp6JnsPm6BEqPb-l2jGAePUWyz1w-4esBJ7Puht8-Jdcb49P4cEsMbOTgKCk2xs_4ajN46D1-XRSVHRA2eCn2ywOAbZCaQ82puCk8/s1600/highmark.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgldNuDFHLPXwJ2LfSDQoCiveRbGvGt2SBKT7MAhAkp6JnsPm6BEqPb-l2jGAePUWyz1w-4esBJ7Puht8-Jdcb49P4cEsMbOTgKCk2xs_4ajN46D1-XRSVHRA2eCn2ywOAbZCaQ82puCk8/s320/highmark.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />The "Home Sweet Home" sentiment is anchored by the multiple locations, echoing the idea that home is where the heart is.<br /><br />Adam's work is done by <a href="http://www.jesterscourttattoos.com/tattoo-artists/michael/michael.htm">Michael Patrick</a> at <a href="http://www.jesterscourttattoos.com/index.htm">Jester's Court Tattoos</a> in Pittsburgh.<br /><br />Thanks to Adam for sharing his wonderful sleeve with us here on Tattoosday!
