The inspiration behind my most recent tattoo comes from the anime Death Note. It’s a phrase saying “Gods of death love apples?” With a skeletal hand offering a bright red apple right above it. The illustration symbolizes temptation, mortality, and forbidden knowledge. It’s Ryuk, the Shinigami (death god), who has a quirky obsession with apples from the human world.
