I don't know what to say that haven't been said already, it was incredibly beautiful! And the never-ending argument with parents about tattoo is something I all too easily can recognize.
This was such a beautiful piece. I'm so glad you chose the meaning behind the tattoo that you wrote about because it was simply perfect.
Even though we never got to meet the character of Alice, I really felt like I knew her in the way you described her and how she made the main character feel. The description of the tattoo at the end was just amazing and I loved how it really symbolised their entire relationship. And how at the end she said one simple sentence and the parents finally believe her because I could really feel the emotion put behind those words.
Beautiful, just beautiful. I really enjoyed reading this. :)
I promised to do a short comment, and for once I'll actually do it right away xD
I really loved it, it's so sweet and sad, and I know well enough the annoyance for parents not getting why getting a certain tattoo >.>
That it was femmeslash made me happy, it's too little well written of that here ^^
The tattoo, beautiful and colourful and gentle and fragile and so Alice that it was making her want to cry sometimes I loved this description, it was just beautiful, and so sad, it's just amazingly worded <3
