You're cute as a button;
I got a tattoo today. It has a lot of meaning behind it and lots of thought and love went into the planning of it.
The Sunday before my dad passed away I went to see him at the hospice. When I was leaving he looked up at me and held out his hand, so I took it. He shook it while softly saying “Thank you” and gently kissed it. That was his way of saying good bye. I will always cherish that memory and I still hear his soft voice thanking me. I miss him so much that it hurts, so I decided to get this tattoo done in his handwriting (I had to hunt down a checkbook that he had written in to get the letters) and I can’t explain how much I love this tattoo and how happy it makes me to know that I have my dad’s last words to me forever etched on my skin. I’m not going to lie though it hurt like and absolute BITCH and I was screeching like a dying animal but it was over in 30 seconds. The amazing @barbarocket was the artist who did this tattoo for me. Thank you so much again Barbara! I absolutely love it!!!❤
So I haven’t really talked about this on tumblr because I’m not active on here anymore, but I’m going to set up an appointment to get a tattoo on Friday. I’m going to get “Thank you” in my dad’s handwriting on my right wrist. So I’m going to copy and paste the post I made on facebook because it explains the reason on why I’m getting this well. (aaaand I’m lazy…)
but as you know (if you pay attention to my recent posts) my dad passed away on Monday, July 13th at 3:05AM. So here’s my reasoning behind the tattoo:
“Yesterday [Sunday afternoon July 12th], I went with my mom to visit my dad at the hospice. He looked so thin you could see the outlining of his skull. He was hardly responsive when we talked to him because of the side effects of the morphine. After staying with him for a while we were saying goodbye and said we’ll be back again tomorrow (today) I kissed him on the forehead and said bye and he reached out his hand and so I took it. He shook it while looking into my eyes and softly said “Thank you.” and I naively said “You’re welcome.” and waved him goodbye. That was the last thing he ever said to me. I’m 100% sure that he knew that would be the last time he would see me and wanted to say goodbye without me worrying about him. Even when he was looking eye to eye with death he was thinking about me. I came home today with a mission. I went looking through his things looking for ANYTHING he wrote in. I found an old check book in a drawer that he had written checks on in the past and traced all the letters I needed to spell out “Thank you” in his handwriting. I plan on saving up to get it tattooed on my right wrist (the hand that he shook.) That way I will always have a piece of him with me to remember him by and something to remind me to be thankful for everyone and everything I have. I will never forget the love you have shown me these passed 22 and a half years 아빠. I miss you so much already. Until we meet again, please watch over me and wait for me. I love you so much. Goodbye.”
On Monday morning at 3:05 my dad graduated from life. He peacefully passed away in his sleep. He was suffering. I was broken but now I’m relieved because he’s no longer in pain. I will always cherish the memories I had with you dad. I miss you so much. Until we meet again. 아빠 영원히 사랑해❤ #ILoveYouDad

My completed A New Dawn Ahri cosplay that I debuted at Katsucon!! Could not be any prouder to say that I made this costume :D Thanks to my friends and boyfriend (For doing some of the embroidery for me <3) for supporting me and not allowing me to give up when I wanted to throw this costume out the window a few times. Lol XP
Some progress photos of my A New Dawn Ahri that I’m slowly but surely finishing. (Hopefully I’ll be 100% complete by next Friday to enter it into a Cosplay contest to win $1,000!!!)

can we talk about Legolas in the back tho
I feel like I need to rewatch the entire series just focusing on Legolas.
It’s worth it.
The best part of this post is Orlando Bloom literally had no idea what was going on 95% of the time. He said in an interview once that no one ever told him anything and he just stood in the back ground making faces.
My best friend, someone I love and care about most in the world.
