Do you know the concept of kintsugi? It’s a Japanese concept where when a dish breaks, you don’t glue it back together with super glue. You glue it back together with gold. The dish is reformed, but its flaws are also on display as a thing of beauty.
Anyway, I know that gold is not necessarily something that would be conveyed well or stay that way in a tattoo.
But I am wanting a kintsugi pot with a bonsai tree growing out of it. The only color will be in the cracks or the pot. The rest I want in black and gray. I’m wanting it on my thigh.
Problem is I have been putting off getting more tattoos for the summer because you can’t swim for like 3 weeks ish after getting one. But I’m a very impatient person!!

What a beautiful concept. This post made me laugh too because bonsai require quite a lot of patience
Lmao I didn’t think of that. To be fair this is the longest I have gone without getting a new tattoo since starting to get some in October lol
