— thawn submitted: Info on Louis' Dagger from the...

Hi there!

I’ll try keep it quick, but basically I came to you first because this (to me) is pretty breakthrough stuff. If anything it confirms a lot of our beliefs and I thought you could handle it/spread it accordingly.

So basically, I live in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs and I got my nose pierced tonight at Bondi Ink (notorious in this fandom for the venue of Louis’ long awaited dagger tattoo) and as I was sitting in the chair I struck up conversation with the guy doing the piercing. I asked if he was a tattoo artist and he said no, but “this guy is” and pointed to someone next to him. So I started talking to that guy about drunk tattoo requests, etc, small talk.

Then I asked “Did you do the tattoo’s for the boys from One Direction?” and he was like, “yeah, I did one of them. Lewis i think?” And my heart started beating cause it couldn’t have been a better opportunity to ask questions.

On the topic of “drunk tattoo requests” I asked about Louis’ tattoo (playing dumb of course, otherwise I would seem like a creep) so I joked around and said sarcastically “was it a sentimental one” and he said “Actually I was really surprised, he wasn’t even drunk, he had it planned out and it seemed extremely important - weird for a late night tattoo around here”

at this stage i was struggling to contain myself because jesus christ ?? ? ?

Then i decided to try and go further, and I asked “do you remember what the tattoo was?” and he said “yeah it was a dagger” and I said “why would he get a dagger that’s bizarre”. To which he replied, “when I saw the design, I said that I’d known of a different but similar design with a rose incorporated into the dagger - being a tattoo artist for a living every now and then we have to try and up the scale of the tattoo - but then he just said that ‘the rose had already been taken care of’, so maybe he already had a tattoo of a rose somewhere else”

I have to note that afterward I said “wow it’s strange that you can reveal all this stuff to me, what with his status and client confidentiality and all that” and he just said “nah, it’s a tattoo after all, it’s there forever and it’s not exactly in a hidden place, everyone’s gonna see it”

So make of all this what you will, but I thought it was pretty significant. I was with a friend at the time who has absolutely no idea about Larry, but me being a pretty avid Larrie in this fandom I thought it was pretty good news for us… I must stress that this is real! I wouldn’t want to make up this even if I really wanted to, false hope tears us apart nowadays.

Have a lovely day!
