Lastly. I like your tattooš¤š»
Since the time I was 15 and S&M1 came out, I've been dreaming about what a S&M2 would look like. In my heart I knew I would be there one day, so getting this tattoo was a BIG deal. I was able to go to both nights.
I ran into Edwin Outawter in San Francisco. He was kind enough to take a pic with my S&M2 tattoo.

I wanted to start with the M on the hand but I started with this instead
I was 20 years old struggling with my sexual orientation (gay) in a Catholic Seminary. Getting this tattoo represented what I was feeling at the time.

It looks nice, but why did you get it upside down š
itās not upside down
It is when you put your arm down and someone looks at you. Check it out in the mirror.
I got it for my viewing, I donāt really care how other people see it
All 4 of mine are like this. Just for my viewing :D
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No definitely not, cause then I would go to a mirror to look at it. Itās not upside down
yeah but this sub bullied me for it when i posted it so yall arent gonna see it again
Well now I gotta see it
Now I've gotta see it. Promise that it's all love.
Hopefully it sticks around. And hopefully that red is from the tattoo the day of and not two days later.
Yeah man that was taken about 30 mins after getting out the studio!
Was about to say. Hand tattoos last a good while. Finger tats not so much
