This year marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Lilo and Stitch, so, for Stitch Day (6/26) this year, I decided to post something I'm surprised I never actually posted.

This is a picture of a tattoo I got done after having gotten some birthday money back on my 20th birthday. There's quite a long story that goes into how and why I got this tattoo. As it is currently, the tattoo really needs a touch-up and has for quite some time, but the picture shows what it looks like the day I was able to take the plastic wrap off my arm, which had been there for about 24 hours after I'd gotten it, to keep the blood from running.

There are two journals, written over on my old account on DeviantArt, that detail how this tattoo came to end up on my arm. Rather than clutter up the description of this submission, I'll just leave them here: Part 1 Part 2

To this day, the memories surrounding me getting this tattoo still make me smile.
