Turning 'darkness' into strength. Tattoo stickers wishing for Noto's recovery are finally on sale!

Thank you for waiting.
I spent the night alone in front of my computer, writhing in agony over whether to go with a 'cute' style or a 'dark' style...

Finally, the tattoo sticker design is complete!✨

I discarded the 'correct' business approach of being sparkly and cute, and instead created the ultimate sheet packed with my roots in rock and Visual Kei, as well as the 'reality of life' I witnessed in Noto.

This is the 'design of the soul' that I have chosen.

This time, I was extremely particular about the 'Gothic-Night' theme.
Based on a seahorse, I added silver chains and a small skull.

As for the colors, there are 5 in total:'Silver,' 'Gold,' 'Red,' 'Blue,' and 'Purple'!!

Why was I so obsessed with 'darkness' and the 'gothic' aesthetic?
It is because I wanted to give form to the truth taught by the Visual Kei aesthetic: 'Because you know pain, you can become strong.'
That sounds a bit like a greeting from a Visual Kei band, doesn't it... 💦 haha

At the evacuation center in Noto, I saw a lot of sadness.
As a nurse, I learned that there are nights that cannot be saved by pretty words alone.

That is precisely why I hope these stickers will be more than just a fashion statement—I want them to be a shield (a charm) for you to love and live through your wounded and vulnerable self.

The surprising connection forged by the 'seahorse'

Actually, I had a shivering discovery during this production process.
As someone pointed out in the comments of my previous article, the seahorse is also a 'symbol for the hearing impaired.'

The AquaStride motif was actually a symbol that supports 'people with hearing difficulties.'
I am convinced that this coincidence, which I cannot believe is just a coincidence, has created a new connection through this design.

Applying this 'dark-cute seahorse' to your arm, behind your ear, or on your neck.
It becomes a cool sign of affirming your own identity.
