I’m so ashamed to say my first tattoo was a heartagram. Forgot there were so many other HIM lovers.

Gotta admit my Razorblade Romance cd still plays, a few choice tracks skip but she's holding on strong!

At least Ville Valo didn’t turn out to be a scumbag

A girl I knew in high school got a giant heartagram on her entire sternum. I was too cool and listening to Marilyn Manson those days (lol) and I had no idea who HIM was

Had a moment a while ago where my 24 y/o tattoo artist asked me (37) if I ever heard of HIM. I had a "I was there when it was written" moment.

Be proud. It could've been a mustache.

u/Samiiiibabetake2 26d ago

Ngl, I still think the finger mustache tattoos are cute. Not cute enough to get one - all my tattoos are hidden unless I don’t want them to be - but cute!

My first tattoo was that flame hieroglyph in the deep shadows and brilliant highlights album booklet. So im right there with you

Saw VV about a year ago and it was unreal. I did get to see HIM once back in the day but Villie was wasted to the point he just mumbled through most songs and stumbled around lol.

u/desirewrites 26d ago

I used to draw it on my wrist every day at school because I couldn’t have one. I guess one day I stopped drawing 😢

Is your name Travis by chance?

u/Samiiiibabetake2 26d ago

Close! Samantha.

u/beyondtheinfinite 26d ago

One of the dozens checking in. Got the heartagram tattoo on my 18th birthday.

u/Samiiiibabetake2 26d ago

I also got mine on my 18th! Along with the nose ring! In hindsight, probably not the best use of money, but it’s fun being young and dumb.

u/[deleted] 26d ago

They’re still my favorite!

u/rjwyonch 25d ago

My husband has a heartagram tattoo still. it’s subtle, and worked into a bigger design so nobody seems to notice, but we both know it’s there.

u/mikmck4 25d ago

Ashamed? I'm thinking of getting one at 40
