Oh, hello

Lumos! This is my tattoo I got done a few weeks ago.  

When I was little my mom would read the first three books of the Harry Potter series to us every night. One night the power went out just as we started to read. She was going to call it a night but we begged her to continue. So she went and got out candles and a lantern. Made her own light to read to us. When the power came back on, we went, turned off the lights, and continued to read by the candles/lantern. Every night since then we read with the lights off and candles lit.

I decided to get Lumos for that reason. I love Harry Potter and I loved that moment I had with her. I decided to get it in her handwriting to be more personal. I changed the S to a lightning bolt because a cursive S following a cursive O looks..weird to me.

Since it is in UV ink, when it heals, it won’t appear in daylight, only in black light. The lightning bolt will be visible during the day because it is a colored UV ink, and I am ok with that.
