my friend in tattoo school worked on me today 💗

first one is a fine line quote in my bro’s (very childlike) handwriting on my left arm, and second is the (beginning of a) parkour tattoo on my right thigh, also for my bro 🥰

#i’m gonna get the parkour one touched up and added onto later #i kinda had to tap out on the shading lmao so it will be filled in around the letters #and i’ll level out the bottom before adding some floral and geometric motifs around it #tbh it’s totally fine with me if the lettering part never turns out ‘perfect’ anyway like the whole idea is a big inside joke #that has to do with injuries and my bro doing parkour growing up #so it feels kind of fitting as is? #i just want to tidy up the letters even out the bottom arch and finish filling it #and then add a bunch of fun stuff around that’s really clean and ‘pretty’ #like my bro would like it already by concept alone and just be like ‘ok very you’ after adding all the pretty stuff around it #and bc they’re both memorial pieces that’s all i really want in the end 🫶 #but yeah considering my friend is still in tattoo school and quite early in still i’m really proud of them!! #the arm tattoo especially im v sentimental about and i’m so impressed w how well #they were able to emulate his handwriting so 💗💗 big win for my heart #alex talks
