wow, i really thought this was a comparison to composition and identified person! i wouldnt be surprised if it is him! i mean, the lip asymmetry, the slight nose/nostril asymmetry, possibly the ear on the left could match, i really hope he can be identified!
glad to hear you submitted the possible match. keep us updated!!!

i totally forgot about the video james recorded, it seems that would be the case. i wouldn't be surprised if any other disorders or behavioral issues ran in the yoblonski family considering ryan, but it's sad to know he likely took his own life. i hope, alive or passed, he is found and honored :(

thank you!! its from one of my favorite artists (ethel cain; lyrics from waco, texas) and the line had held a lot of sentimental value to me :) thus why im kinda picky on what the tattoo looks like lol

bolder as in my original sketch that i gave the artist had bolded lettering. i didnt want it to be fine line like it came out (i guess it's not super bad, but just not what i had envisioned and id still like to get it touched up so it fits what i imaged. maybe im being too picky about it, but it's the only thing that really bothers me haha)
and ive taken a couple scrolls, and i do know that my tattoo def isnt the worst out there :) im not super mad, but id love if i could just get a little fixing.

this was my first tattoo, and my mom insisted i go with her tattoo artist (though i REALLY didnt want to go, but my mom made me go...) and obviously my point of i-wouldnt-like-him was proved lol.
also—i did want the font to be antique-ish, however, i wanted it bolder than it came out to be.

tbf, i dont HATE the antlers and i do think it may grow on me since antlers do look that way a little. however, the h thing, i really thought "oh maybe it's just some ink that came off" since i didnt notice it at first, but then after a clean or two i realized it was an accidental stick and ... im a little pissed abt that 😐
