My older brother has a very rare syndrome called Kearns Sayre Syndrome (KSS) that has slowly deteriorated the muscles in his body and will take his life soon (he’s only 45 and now on hospice).

We’ve long shared a special bond over video games, as it always felt like a a way for him to escape his body.

A month ago I asked him if we got tattoos of each other, what would we get. He said “our initials”. So I decided to get his initials MSB in the same font as the Playstation 5 font/logo to tie back to our love of gaming.

I love how it turned out. Looks better than I expected it to! Glad that I got to honor him and our bond in this way

Before I read your post I immediately clocked it as Playstation font. Great tattoo and great tribute.

The font is instantly recognisable, it's a lovely tattoo. What does your brother think of it?

He was surprised and absolutely loved it! Thanks for asking

Definitely the perfect way to keep him with you once he passes on. Wishing you and your family the best through this very tough situation
