I wont post a photo, because it's hard and not really the vibe of my blog so far, but I have one tattoo!
I have a lovely memorial piece on the back of my right tricep area, of a big streetlight, with its post in a bouquet of lilies and roses. The design is a custom piece by the tattoo artist, made for me and one of my good friends. The two of us had bonded over our favorite band, Streetlight Manifesto, and so this piece is in reference to one of their songs that spoke to a powerful experience we shared.
My friend and I lost a good friend to some unfortunate circumstance in my senior year of high school, so this tattoo is dedicated in part to her memory. The flowers are in reference to this line from the song:
Fuck buying flowers for graves. I'd rather buy you a one-way non-stop to anywhere, find anyone, do anything, forget and start again, love. She says she won't go, it hurts to much.

And when you wake up, everything is going to be fine. I guarantee that you'll wake in a better place, and in a better time. So you're tired of living? And you feel like you might give in? Well don't. It's not your time.
