I like going for a punkish aesthetic and I have two ear piercings, nose piercing, and two tattoos on my arms, one that’s patterns with some skulls the other one is an anchor with “sink or swim” on it

    Just one tattoo. I got it at 20 about a year after my dad passed away. It’s an homage to the only tattoo my dad had throughout my childhood, which was a bird on his arm. I got it done by an old friend of his, who owned a tattoo shop. He free-handed it off of a grainy, faded photograph that I pulled out of an old photo album. He did a fantastic job; it’s a 1:1 replica.

    It’s faded just a bit now (I’ve had it for nearly 15 years), but not badly. I’ll probably get it touched up in a few years to brighten up the colors.
