The Last Lizard, My Second Tattoo last lizard tattoo

“The lizard wakes up and finds he’s the last lizard alive. His family and friends are all gone. Those he didn’t like, those who picked on him in school are also gone. The lizard is all alone. He misses his family and friends. Even his enemies. It’s better being with your enemies than being alone.

Anne’s Sakura Tattoo

I wish this was me talking about my (non-existent) tattoo but nope, this post is about someone else’s experience.

My first body piercing
