This is so touching.

Back in July, we were among the many shocked to learn of Cameron Boyce‘s tragic death due to a seizure suffered in his sleep. And we were far from the only ones to mourn the Disney Channel star after his untimely passing at just 20 years old. As you can see (above), his co-stars have been seriously affected by the young actor’s death ever since July.

In a brand new video produced and filmed for Vogue‘s 24 Hours series, Dove Cameron takes the cameras to a tattoo parlor, where Boyce’s one-time co-star from The Descendants is there to get a tattoo in honor of the young star’s passing. As you can see (above), Dove explains some of the thought behind that move (below):

“I am getting my 11th tattoo today. I really do get them so often that this really is a day in the life for me. I’ve settled on that I want to get a single needle. Either like a pistol or a revolver or some type of fire arm, but I want it to have either a single rose or a little bouquet coming out of it.”

Wow! Sounds (and looks) very beautiful.

And she goes on to explain more about how the tattoo itself will function as a way to remember Cameron, adding this (below):

“Because I’m very anti-gun, and I’m very pro-gun regulation. It’s sort of like a nationally recognized symbol for peace and for anti-gun movements. And also, my friend Cameron passed away a few months ago and he was starting this organization called Wielding Peace. He wanted to get influential people holding things that sort of looked like they were in the shape of a gun, but then it would be artistic or peaceful. He did it with a bouquet of flowers actually, and I think that that’s really beautiful and I’ve been trying to think of a tattoo to get for him since he passed, and I just felt that this one was really appropriate. It’s hard when there are no adequate words to express the pain we are all feeling, but the usual text is ‘love you.’ Or ‘are you eating?’ Or ‘how are we all today?’ I think something like this horrible loss makes you realize how important you are all to each other. I am grateful for my chosen family at a time like this.”

So, so powerful. And such a good thing for all of us to remember.
