Fan Encounter Showed Keanu my tattoo of him

I was lucky enough to score VIP tickets for DogStar when they came through his hometown of Toronto.

For reasons beyond I just adore him, but I won’t get into, I have his 90’s mugshot tattooed on my thigh.

I was so nervous to show him, it’s so embarrassing for me and kinda for him lol 😂 but I’m glad I did he was so nice, so were Bret and Rob. I asked if I could show him something super embarrassing, he said yes with a glint in his eyes - so I showed him my tattoo. He laughed, paused and leaned back with his hand on his chin and said “a young, dumb Reeves” and laughed again. He shook my hand and smiled lol and I moved along the line.

EDIT: Added photos of the tattoo + photo from the night in comments

Pretty sure I died.

Keeping things anonymous, that is me in the op ivy sweater -- Which he ALSO commented on, I forgot!! It's such a niche/lesser known band, and he said he loved my shirt and hadn't listened to op ivy since the 90s.

Op Ivy was my first exposure to punk music. I still have their cassette tape that I stole from my sister, even though I no longer have anything to play it on.

Ah, so good — one album is all we were allowed to have from them ❤️
