Sister Tattoos

Niykee Heaton

Niykee Heaton has a silhouette of a flying eagle on the inside of her left wrist. It is a tribute to her older sister Rachel. “You will always be with me. #rip,” Niykee wrote on instagram.

Rachel was diagnosed with a rare form of liver cancer when she was only 3 and half years old. She had multiple liver and kidney transplants over the course of her life and died at the age of 21 while awaiting new organs. Niykee has encouraged her fans to become organ donors in order to prevent more deaths like this one.
