Not to be an ass, I love this tattoo, but in the etymology – it’s Gr. ‘philos’ friend, not ‘bilos.’ The tattoo is right, but that’s the Greek letter φ, not a Latin letter ‘b.’

Srsly though, this is one of my favorite tattoos I’ve ever seen.

Ah, you’re right. I copied and pasted.

Simply and utterly perfect.

Thanks for having my tattoo on here! I’m really glad everyone likes it.
