A friend of mine recently got a tattoo. We spoke about it a lot before the time, because I'm also interested in tattoos, but he never showed me the design even though I asked.
It's finally done, and he sent me a picture. I haven't even been able to answer him on it.
It is literally one of my paintings that I did in remembrance of my grandmother - a painting of the house where we spent our holidays and a field of her favourite flowers. It's really personal. I've never put pictures of this painting on social media. It only exists in my room. Which means he took a picture of it at some point to have tattooed on him
He knows the emotional significance of the painting and that it's very personal to me. I don't understand why he'd do this.
The tattoo is his entire forearm, and it is exactly my painting, just smaller. I can't comprehend why he would do this.
Am I wrong for feeling angry about this?
Am I thinking too deeply about this?
Should I feel honoured?
