Another Spuffy-inspired tattoo art! This is actually the first one I drew but for Reasons I didn't get around to finishing it until tonight. Quote from Fool for Love.

Today is an accidental two-fer! I'm doing Inktober just for me for funsies and today's prompt was flame. "Aha!" says I. "My next planned Spuffy tat was a flaming heart! Maybe I should finish it already!"

And then while I was checking to make sure I was happy with the coverage of the "ink" against a black background, magic happened, so...two for the price of one. Though the second one is not quite in the vintage tattoo style I've been using in the series otherwise. (It was just too cool not to share.)

Whoooo more art. Thanks to MillennialCryBaby for giving me the idea to use this quote, which I knew instantly had to go with a poison bottle. And to HappyWhenItRains and MCB and alittlemoretime for generally consulting and cheerleading.

:dusts this thing off:

I got stuck on this one for a long time. I wanted to do a sun for Buffy but I don't like suns with faces and a lot of the vintage tattoos are the ones with faces. And then I couldn't make the additional elements I was trying to add jive. Finally added the moon today and there it was.
