A Kiss With A Fist Is Better Than None

Tattoo by Maria Valdovinos at Black Hatchet Tattoos in November, 2021

Things I’ve always wanted to try but never had a reason to, inner lip tattoo. They typically don’t look the best and frankly I never had anything I’d want. And then Maria posted a picture of the cutest little inner lip tattoo and that felt like the right moment. I brought it up to my partner and joked I should get out anniversary tattooed so I would never forget. This turned into us both getting matching inner lip tattoos of our anniversary. A funny and also beautiful reminder of the bane of my existence, remembering 5/9/14.
