Childhood Friends' Demon Slayer Trio
Inspired by our love for Demon Slayer and our astrological signs (Taurus, Pisces, Sagittarius), my best friends and I got these matching tattoos. This trio symbolizes our lifelong bond, with the Japanese waves adding a touch of artistic flair. It's also my very first tattoo!
