My boyfriend wrote LOVE on my arms and took a picture

TWLOHA [link]

Model - Me

Photographer/Lettering - ~a3sthetik
*The letters were written in marker.

Pose - collaborative effort between model and photographer

We should all write love on our arms for each other and remember that no one should have to deal with pain alone. No one should have to be afraid of not being accepted for their personal issues, no matter what those issues are.

I wrote love on my arms because love is the movement, and I truly believe that.

*I do not endorse or recommend the use of markers on human skin. Though I did it on myself it was done because I knew beforehand that I have no allergies, the markers are non-toxic, and I would be washing it off as soon as the shoot was done. This does not make using markers on your skin safe by any measure though. It is not professional make-up, and certainly not meant to be used on skin the way I used it. I freely admit that it was foolish of me to use the markers, and if you do it it's foolish too. It ended up not washing off the way I thought/hoped it would and really, it probably wasn't actually worth the risk. My skin was not happy after using those markers, I obviously did have a mild reaction to them as they left pink letters in place of black ones after I scrubbed at them. So please, keep that in mind if you ever have similar projects or purposes. Body paint is not expensive and not hard to find and you can make stencils for letters and shapes. Don't use markers on your skin unless they are specifically designed for that purpose.

I'd like to say thanks to all the people who have faved and featured and commented on this image. It is by far my most viewed and most faved deviation and that's pretty cool considering what it represents.

To Write Love on Her Arms is a movement that seeks to spread love, acceptance, tolerance, and help to those in need. Many people in this world suffer from depression and other 'mental illnesses'...many of them are judged, ridiculed, tormented, or told they are 'beyond help'. So for those who believe Love is the movement....we write love on our arms, to take at least a small part in the big something :)
