my shoulders are to commemorate a dead friend. the chest is the witches flight by goya. essentially: don’t judge what you first perceive.

Enter For FreeIt was a nickname that I and a dead friend shared. It’s “Sugar Tits” and “Bitch Buns” but cut in half so the Sugar Buns part is what’s tattooed and the Bitch Tits part I keep for myself. I knew I wanted to have a calligraphy tattoo done of the nicknames, so I found a great calligrapher, waited for him to come to my area, and found time (completely coincidentally) right on the anniversary of their death to get a tattoo. It was a really cathartic moment.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?“The earth is rude, silent, incomprehensible at first, Nature is rude and incomprehensible at first, Be not discouraged, keep on, there divine things well envelop’d, I swear to you there are divine things more beautiful than words can tell” - Walt Whitman. The artist dies when the ink dries, the only thing left alive is the canvas and the story it rebels to tell.
What would you do with the $25,000?Hard to say! I’ve never thought of just having that kinda money. My first thought is 1/3, 1/3, 1/3. 1/3 for charity, 1/3 for myself, and 1/3 for a rainy day—someone else’s. I’d honestly consider just putting it towards greater education at a craft school if that’s what my hearts telling me, but I’m unsure at the moment. Money is fickle and slippery, but I’m sure I’ll figure something out when it comes my way.
