#horseshoe tattoo

[fantasticcoffeekoala]

This is one of the tattoos that I really made me believe.

I always thought the three nails were a reference to the 3 nails that pinned Jesus to the cross!

The horseshoe on Louis and the nails on Harry were done just days apart according to Kati’s tattoo masterpost: 

I never gave much though to either tattoo, TBH, but recently Hayley @kindofsharethat had an anon who pointed out that Louis’ horseshoe was missing 3 nails (you can see 3 of the dots which represent the 6 nails are filled in/black and 3 are unfilled)

Where are the corresponding 3 nails? On Harry. Of course. Nicely placed right between two hearts (which is probably coincidence, but nothing would surprise me with these two). 

Louis’ horseshoe wouldn’t do much good with only half the nails. It needs the other half to make sure it’s anchored and kept steady so it can do what it’s meant to do. 

Cry with me. I know you want to.

As I continue working on finishing up the lower arm portion of my prehistoric sleeve, take a look at my most recent piece – a “living fossil,” the horseshoe crab! Despite their name, they are not actually true crabs or crustaceans: they are chelicerates, which are most closely related to arachnids such as spiders and scorpions! 🕷️🦂

Having existed nearly unchanged for at least 445 million years, horseshoe crabs were around well before even dinosaurs roamed the Earth! Their bodies consist of a tank-like structure made up of a hard carapace and a spike-like tail called a telson. Despite the sharp tail though, horseshoe crabs are completely harmless and only use the appendage to flip themselves back over if they get overturned by a wave. In fact, you may even be alive today because of a horseshoe crab! Their bright blue blood (which comes from having the oxygen-carrying protein hemocyanin instead of hemoglobin) contains a unique enzyme called limulus amebocyte lysate, or LAL. Biomedical companies use LAL to test medicines, vaccines, implants, and more for potentially deadly bacterial endotoxins to make sure they’re safe for humans! For this and many other reasons, I’m happy to pay tribute to this special creature that’s stood the test of time with this amazingly detailed forearm tattoo!

My tattoo artist yesterday told me that I was really good at getting tattooed and all I could think about was that I was getting a good grade in tattoo

2023 was the year of tattoos apparently..I also don’t recommend getting two tattoos in one week 🥵
