As much as I love the aesthetics of tattoos, I could never get one myself. Between my low pain tolerance and indecisiveness, I could never get something permanent on my body. I would also end up buried in my parent’s backyard. But still, it’s fun to dream.

I combine two essential things in my life: my Swedish heritage and Winnie the Pooh. I found a site that translated English into Ancient Runes and entered a Winnie the Pooh quote:

You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

Christopher Robin, Winnie the Pooh.


I found a stock photo of the inside of a forearm and put the text on top of it. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I think it looked pretty badass.
