I guess my first try didn’t work, so here we go again:

I miss my friend every day, but this tattoo has definitely helped me heal and it fills me with fond memories whenever I look at it.
The tattoo was done in two sittings, about 7 hours total, by Dan at Primal Decor in Eureka, CA. The tattoo is his design and when he sent me the sketch after our consultation, I almost cried because it was almost exactly what I had pictured in my mind. I’ve been tattooed by him twice now and I’m honestly pretty nervous about the prospect of being tattooed by anyone else.
It’s Kasey. Not Casey, Kacey, K.C., Kacie, or Casie. And Cassie is the home schooled girl down the street wearing the permanent retainer. And despite popular belief it’s not Stacy either. Where did you get Stacy from? Yes. I have heard of that guy Kasey Kasem. No. I do not listen to him on the…
