tattoos-
honor death
honor sadness
homage to loved ones
homage to sources of comfort and strength
honor everything that's been formative
eyes toward the future
lean into favorite aesthetic components
such as angels
such as medieval art
such as nature
such as magic
such as american folk art
such as music
such as poetry
tattoos are a magical ritual before they're anything else. the money you spend isn't the real cost. you spend pain, and you get permanent art that cannot be stolen from you.
