I got this tattoo from Kati Green at Blue Ox tattoo yesterday.
It is a list, so that the notes I’m always writing on my arm are organized and pretty.
It is also a ruler. The lines are spaced at 1/2 inch, with the dots on the right showing 1/4 in and the ones on the left showing 1 cm. The compass rose is an angle finder.
The flowers are my favorite ones from my grandma’s garden when I was growing up. Gravenstein apple blossoms, marigolds, and wisteria.
I love it and am so excited for when it is heal enough to safely use.
"I've been dead in the ground for long enough. It's time to try living again." - Astarion 🌻
Something super different from my usual portraits, but I had a vision & wanted to see it sketched out.
I wanted to turn Astarion's scars into a floral pattern to represent him reclaiming his own life, growing into his own person, & the freedom that comes with choosing to live again. 🪻🌻🌷🌹
Also, the sunflower was 100% inspired by that quote you can get from Minsc when he shouts to Astarion that Boo will bring him a sunflower. 🥹 I love their friendship so much! 😭🫶
