Devotion

LeDon and I are getting closer day by day. Though he isn't here with me physically, we share a bond that is really hard to describe. Maybe it's because we've known each other for a long time. Maybe it's because we don't have physical shit clouding our judgement. I don't know exactly what it is, but I know I feel it. He tells me he feels it also... and that's really all we can go by...

See, I've been designing tattoos for friends for about 2 years. I designed 3 for myself, though I only have one of the 3 on my body at the present time. About 2 to 3 weeks ago, I had an idea. I really like the look of Egyption Glyphs for your horescope. So, one day I was sitting down with a pencil and paper and started drawing... the result was on glyph representing both LeDon (Libra) and me (Leo)...

(If you want to see each individual glyph, just Google them... I tried to enter them in this entry, but it didn't work out for some reason...)

I thought it was pretty slick, so I sent it to him, with a few adjustments... like above it, I had the Libra glyph to the left and the Leo glyph to the right and in the middle arching over the top of the one I drew were the words "As One" in red (his favorite color) outlined in green (my favorite color)...

Now, I said I was gonna get the tattoo.. I did, I'm not even gonna lie to ya'll. He said he might get it too, but he didn't know... amazingly enough, niggas got tattoo gear in prison, I mean like at the shop tattoo gear... I have 2 tattoos already, he's got 7... I really thought he was just talking shit when he said he might get it...

So, this past Friday, I had gone to see him... we were talking about our tattoos and whatnot and he asked me again about the one I had sent to him and when I was going to get it... I said "Well, probably after I get my tax refund." He shook his head and we went into another subject... that night, he called me about 10:30PM... we talk and he goes to say "You remember what we were talking about earlier? About that thing you said you were gonna get, the picture you sent to me?" I'm like "Yeah, what about it?" He says to me "I got it done today."

WHA?

I mean, don't get me wrong... it makes me immensely happy and I'm totally flattered... it's just like... WOW... and it's not like it's in some obscure place that only I'll be able to see either... it's on his forearm, plain as fucking day, he said...

Now, I don't know about ya'll, but that's big shit for me... it's not like it's my name or no shit like that, but I know what it represents because I drew it... he knows what it represents as well... I asked him if somebody asked what it means what would he tell them... he says the guy who did the tat asked him what it meant and he said "That's me and my girl, joined together forever"...

Whoa.

Opinions will be greatly appreciated.
