My new Tattoo! Had a hard time taking a photo with my left hand lol Inspired by "In the world there is nothing more submissive and weak than water. Yet for attacking that which is hard and strong nothing can surpass it."
Lao Tzu

This is something I've talked about before- how important it is to me to think like water! We cant live without it, it's life-bearing, it's 'Holy', it's weak and strong at the same time. Im also really proud I withstood the pain

Done by Robbie at Karas. Hard to take a photo with your left hand when you're right handed. The lighting/ shadows makes the ink look far more bled than it actually is. I'll get better photos when it heals

Beautiful script, btw :)

Make sure you don't swim until it's healed and follow all proper aftercare! You want it to stay looking nice!
