for me my ink is a new sense of freedom. i never had the freedom to express myself until i was an adult and my ink tells that story.

my most recent tattoo is the moon tarot card. i’ve always equated the moon to the divine feminine. i believe she gives me strength and power while still celebrating my softness and femininity. she is a reclamation of my softer side while allowing myself to be loud or take up space which isn’t often seen as “lady-like”.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?if my ink could speak it would be celebrating. i was raised very conservative and would have never been allowed to get tattoos if i had stayed in that environment. they celebrate my freedom to express myself and decorate my “temple” in a way that i didn’t think i’d ever be able to. they are my outward expression of my newfound inward freedom and i believe they would be loud and happy and celebratory.
What would you do with the $25,000?i hate to give a boring answer, but the truth is that i would set most of it aside to hopefully save towards buying a house. i would also use a small portion to buy some recording equipment to begin producing the music i’ve written and arranged over the past few years. once all of that is squared away i’d take myself out to a nice sushi dinner and a few tattoo appointments (duh lol).
