In 13 Reasons Why season 2, Clay Jensen tries to get a semicolon tattoo with Skye but he fainted before it could even get completed and he got only comma. But at the end of the season, he got the tattoo completed easily.

Best Answer

Clay was trying to get the tattoo as a sign of being strong for Hannah, but he couldn't get it completed because he himself wasn't, and even though he was pretending to have moved on, he had not.
Getting the tattoo completed meant that finally he had let her go, and that he was ready to be to gather the strength he needed to accept her death after the whole trial.
