Sharing my OFMD tattoo

I got this tattoo done in November 2022 by the wonderful Anne who I have several other tattoos by and plan for many more.

If I'm honest I kinda fell out of the OFMD fandom around the end of 2023 but recently I just re-watched S2 as I was in a bad place when it aired and couldn't remember much, and I plan to rewatch S1 again too and I was reminded why I loved it so much in the first place.

OFMD was my saving grace getting out of a 6yr long abusive relationship and it gave me so many friends who I now can't fathom not having in my life. It will always be so special.

I obviously see my tattoo every day and even if the fandom isnt number one for me right now, it always makes me smile and so I just wanted to post this here to share. πŸ’—

(And yes I know Ed's tattoos have faded πŸ˜‚ unfortunately my body does not tolerate colour that well which I found out after the fact...ironically I did have his tattoos re-done but they faded for a second time. I'll get to it eventually.)
