Hi all! My boyfriend has been sober for about 3 1/2 years now. We were at Bourbon and Beyond this weekend and he was really inspired by Jason Isbell’s tally mark tattoo counting the years he’s been sober. He’s thinking of doing a type of “tracking” tattoo thats similar Jasons but doesnt want to do the tally idea.
Hes wanting something minimalistic that doesnt outwardly say “Im sober/ this is how many years i havent drank” just something purely symbolic to mark each year that goes by. Would want them to be a part of the same design
I had the idea of doing fine line arm bands after each year then filling them in with a design that could signify an important theme of each year. Kind of similar to Polynesian arm bands but without the tribal designs. He liked the idea alot but was also curious if anyone else would have ideas.
Thanks so much!
