#semicolon tattoo
Many of you probably not heard, but Amy Bleuel was the founder of the semicolon project after her father committed suicide.
She lost to her own battle with depression March 23, 2017.
Like many, her message reached me and helped me without even knowing who she was.
Because of her, this symbol is so much more than a semicolon. It is a message. Her message to all of those struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts.
And I believe it is important to remember where this message came from.
“A semicolon is used when an author could’ve chosen to end their sentence, but chose not to. The author is you and the sentence is your life.”
My first tattoo, how my love of music saved my life.

Rytsas! Bisy atroksia issa! (=Hello! This is an owl!)
(So, apparently, there’s this app called Duolingo that can teach you various languages - including High Valyrian, that I’m currently, huh, “studying” - because yeah, who doesn’t need to know a fictional language… <sarcasm> )
Here it is! The original drawing for my tattoo (the very first version, I had to change some stuff to make it more tattoo-friendly). I made it veeeeery sloooowly on a tablet (a Picassotab), and it’s currently the only drawing I’ve made entirely there (actually, I applied colours first on the pc, then refined everything nice on the tablet).
It took ONE YEAR, more or less xD (no, seriously, it’s also a lot different from the first sketch, I changed so much stuff).
Go here if you wanna see the tattoo itself (I can make only shitty photos apparently, and I don’t want to ruin my gallery with them =3= )
Do you think I should give it a name? :P
