Vanessa Bolash

I wear Freyja’s duality, a moth’s transformation, & gills for my love of the sea. Each mirrors light and shadow, past & present.

What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I’ve always resonated with Freyja—she’s the perfect blend of fierce and feminine. A goddess of love and war who reminds me to stay soft but never take sh*t. Plus, fun fact: she rides in a chariot pulled by two giant cats. As a cat lady myself, with two of my own, I couldn’t resist honoring her on my arm. She’s strength, elegance, and a little chaos— and I definitely identify with that.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

I’ve seen some battles, I’ve loved and I’ve lost. Always evolving but carrying the reminders of the wisdom I’ve gained. It’s a reminder, a mirror, and a bit of a warning. Come correct, or don’t come at all.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Oh wow, truthfully I just want a home that is mine. I have moved place to place for so long. I would put that money towards a tiny home. Somewhere I can put roots down and thrive. I’m an artist, so having a solid home base and creative workspace would elevate my life tremendously. That would bring me so much peace.
