Chi Hullo Li Kiyo Tattoo Design

From NDN Inktober 2020 is “Chi Hullo Li Kiyo” — for day 7, language.

This is Choctaw for “I do not love you” but I promise it’s better than it sounds. I was inspired by traditional/neo-traditional designs like the f*ck love daggers through hearts, but wanted to make it more Indigenous inspired, which is where I tied it to the prompt and used my tribe’s language as well as decided to use an arrow instead of a dagger.

Included in the files will be the line art, coloring, and shading for any buyer but please feel free to get this done without color or your own color palette! Please tag me if you post, I’d love to see~

Please note: this is single use, per person. If you are a tattoo artist wanting to use this in your shop, please email me to work out pricing issitohbi@gmail.com
