Onyx and Rubies

Soooooooooo proud of this one X3

Anyway okay! Explanation... I role play El Tigre.

When Manny and Frida are 21, just before they graduate college, Manny finally gets up the nerve to propose to Frida. But while he's ring shopping, turns out Frida's trying to get the nerve up to tell Manny something.

She's pregnant.

Well when Manny proposes, Frida tells him and of course it's all chaos for a little bit. Until they actually get used to the idea and find out they're having a boy and go through all the fun baby prep stuff.

Including naming him: Tobias.

Unfortunately, when Frida's five months along, tragedy strikes and she miscarries.

The couple, of course, is a mess. And during their mourning process, they both get matching tattoos in memory of the son they lost.

Thus why I wanted to draw this X3 cause I had their tattoo so vivid in my mind. Two roses, red and black, to match Frida's engagement ring (onyx and rubies).

Plus gives me a chance to draw some of their other tats.
