Emilie Kiser Unveils Stunning Tattoo Tribute: A Touched-Up Teddy Beside Son Trigg’s Ink

Emilie Kiser treasures two significant tattoos that hold deep meaning for her.

The 26-year-old social media personality recently highlighted the ink that pays tribute to her sons: 6-month-old Theodore, affectionately called “Teddy,” and her late son Trigg, who sadly passed away at the age of 3.

“Got my 🧸 touched up today,” Kiser shared on her Instagram Stories on Sunday, October 19. “These two tattoos mean the world to me for my boys.”

In her post, she offered a close-up view of her arm, showcasing the teddy bear tattoo dedicated to Teddy, who was born in April. Adjacent to the bear, the name “Trigg” is elegantly scripted in cursive.

Emilie and her husband, Brady Kiser, first debuted their matching tattoos in September via Arizona artist Sydney Smith’s TikTok. At the time, Smith posted a clip of the process and a photo of Emilie and Brady, 28, posing together with their arms touching after getting the design permanently etched into their skin. It was the first time that fans also got a glimpse of Emilie’s “Trigg” tattoo.

“Matching teddy bear tattoos for Emilie & Brady ♡ Done at @syzygy tattooing in Scottsdale, AZ,” he captioned the post.

Fans supported the couple, who paid tribute to their beloved late son in ink after he accidentally drowned in the family pool in May.

“We love you, Brady and Emilie ❤️,” one social media user wrote in the comments section, while another added, “This makes me so happy to see. I pray for them everyday! ❤️🐻.” A third commented, “Such a sweet reminder to each other that they have Teddy to be strong and keep going for 🫶🏻.”

On Saturday, October 18, Emilie got candid about the months following Trigg’s death via TikTok.

“Since losing Trigg, I feel like I constantly am in this state — it almost feels like I’m floating,” she explained. “I just don’t know how, honestly, I’ve gotten through the last five months. I was five weeks postpartum with Teddy when my son Trigg passed away. Even thinking about that and re-getting myself into that headspace — [I’m] confused how I’ve made it through, barely, the last five months.”

Emilie first opened up about Trigg’s death via Instagram in August. “Loss of this magnitude feels impossible to put into words,” she wrote “I’ve spent days, weeks, months trying to find them and also take the time I’ve needed to digest the loss of my baby.”

She continued, “I take full accountability as Trigg’s mother, and I know I should have done more to protect him. One of the hardest lessons I carry is that a permanent pool fence could have saved his life, and it’s something I will never overlook again. I hope amidst this pain, Trigg’s story will help prevent other children and families from suffering the same loss.”

In May, the Chandler, Arizona, Police Department confirmed to Us Weekly that Trigg died after being pulled unconscious from the family’s backyard pool.

Emilie and Brady tied the knot in November 2019.
