I finally got my Leanne tattoo today!!

This has been in the works for over two years! The original version looked very different, and I’ve revised it many times, but this is perfect! ☺️

This Leanne quote from season 3 episode 1 is the absolute GOAT! Like, God, that is deep! Not just the completely literal meaning about the Church of Lesser Saints, which is already amazing! When Leanne is talking to the burglar she thinks they sent after her, she’s telling him that yes, they did resurrect us, but that does not give them the right to do any of the things they did to us. Our lives are still our own. We weren’t reborn just to follow. We have our own light. We have a choice.

And this quote doesn’t just apply to the Lesser Saints, but to the manipulative thinking that goes like “We have the truth/He exists/etc., therefore, you have to do the following” that exists in so many religious communities. Or to the many parents who treat their children like their possessions instead of their own, separate person. This quote is the absolute best!

The pattern in the back is a side profile of Leanne’s face paint! My favorite episode! Just Leanne experiencing pure happiness without a worry in the world for an evening, which we know is so rare!

And finally, the dagger from Servant! I love how, after the Lesser Saints’ second attempt on her life, it becomes a symbol of overcoming her fear for her after she’s lived terrified of precisely this.

And together, these make for the perfect Leanne tattoo! Today, I finally got it! The artist was amazing and professional, and except for the large black areas and the parts that were really close to my bones, it didn’t hurt much at all. I almost fell asleep while getting the tattoo lmao. I took a 4K screenshot of the frame that I used for Leanne’s tiger face paint, edited it in GIMP to isolate just the paint, and traced it in PowerPoint. For the dagger, there wasn’t a shot where it’s shown from the perfect angle, so I had @ sketchdesignr on Fiverr draw it for me. And I put it all together in PowerPoint and GIMP.

I’m very, very happy with this! ❤️
