Cameron Boyce is never far from Dove Cameron‘s mind.
As part of the “24 Hours with Vogue” video series, the magazine followed Dove’s day, which included rock climbing and getting a commemorative tattoo for her “Descendants” co-star, who died in his sleep in July from an epilepsy-related seizure.
The tattoo features a revolver with a flower sticking out of its barrel, which Dove, 23, described as “sort of a nationally recognized symbol for peace and anti-gun movements.”
She explains that before Cameron Boyce’s death at the age of 20, he’d created an organization called Wielding Peace — now run by the Cameron Boyce Foundation — which uses photographs as a means for advocating the end of gun violence. In one portrait for the project, he holds a bouquet of flowers.
“It was really beautiful, and I’ve been trying to think of a tattoo to get for him since he passed,” Dove said, “and I just felt that this one was really appropriate.”
