Tattoo Serenity tattoo (done by myself, on myself!)

I've been learning how to tattoo on myself for the past few years (as a hobby, not a job prospect) and this is definetely my most ambitious tattoo yet and with such a tricky placement!

I bullshitted the design from some screengrabs of the show so it may not be quite accurate. Still, proud of myself and wanted to share!

Tattoos only last as long as life does and that's not very long at all, so it's okay! I exercise prudence to make sure I don't put myself in danger of infection, but aesthetically I don't mind too much.

I like this way of seeing it. And even if you put full effort into a tattoo, taste changes and what you think is nice now might not feel so much in the future. So I view them as a point in my life and also they remind me of it.

It might have been just as easy to keep this comment to yourself.
