I like to think that post war Hawks has tattoos.
He doesn't have many tattoos and they don't really have too deep of a meaning but... They're special for him.
The first tattoo he has ever gotten was a big back piece, the design wasn't something he had to think too long about...
He was struggling with the loss of fierce wings when Rumi suggested for him to get them tattooed as a way to remember them. He really does love that tattoo, he and Rumi made a whole day out of it.
It's a really fond memory for him...
He remembers proudly showing off his new tattoo to Touya and Touya calling it beautiful...
Fuck, he misses his mate...
His second tattoo is a bit more complicated... He was so distraught after Touya died he was inconsolable for days.
It took him so long to except his death and Hawks just wanted something that would remind him of his firefly.
It took him so long deciding on the design and the placement of the piece, in the end he decided on a delicate rib tattoo featuring Touya's favorite flower, brilliant blue forget me nots.
Curling against his ribs like they're the only thing holding him together... And in a way they are...
His tattoos are very special to him, they hold special memories that will forever be a part of him.
