Each has a story that are best told over cocktails, but methods have been:
1. only black lines
2. if someone says "matching tattoo", I'm in
3. one of my favs is my Dickbutt tattoo

I have 6 tattoos (plus one stick and poke I let a man do on me at a party when I was 18.) And of course- I want more.
My first tattoo I got during my first month of freshman year of college freshly moved to New York- itâs on my rib cage- it says âgoodnight nobodyâ which is pulled from the childrenâs book goodnight moon. 1. I was read that book as a kid. 2. I remember I rediscovered that book when I was high in the mall in high school and that blank page saying âgoodnight nobodyâ felt poignant for all kinds of reasons. Just a call into the void in a childrenâs book?
A rendition of a sculpture from Portia Munsonâs installation âBound Angelâ that I saw at PPOW a couple years ago- because the work just spoke to me and womanhood at large
i have a fairy (way bigger than I intended) because fairies were a huge part of my girlhood
hey arnold (helgaâs locket of arnold) because my mom watched that show with me before I can even remember and 2. I like Helga was also a yearner in middle school
A bunny because bunny
And most recently two of my best friends and I got matching three-headed deer. I havenât even known them for very long but a portrait of our love felt like a very beautiful and sentimental thing to do regardless of fate.
The only one that hurt was the poorly done stick and poke done at the party right next to my vagina- but ofc I acted like wasn't that bad (it was pretty bad).

I have 6, all fine linework except for a trad style convo heart on my upper thigh. I love hand poke from professionals - itâs super intimate and a lot of the artists I followed when I lived in Austin almost exclusively did hand poke work instead of machine. they are not blown out and have not faded :-) I think long and hard about placement, but I just get stuff I want from artists I love. Not everything has to have A Deep Meaning. My faves are a pear on my right forearm (stranger: why the pear? me: I love pears), âformâ on the back of my left arm, and the lightbulb eye from Picassoâs Guernica above the inside of my right elbow. tattoos are sexy as hell, and I plan to keep collecting them for the rest of my life. The pain to me usually feels like someone scratching a sunburn - worst was my finger since itâs close to bone and the convo heart since the artist went IN! it can be really bad or very tolerable, but I have genuinely enjoyed talking to all of the artists who have given me their work and just focus on the overall experience ⨠the more shading/color, the more itâs gonna hurt and the more intensive the healing process

-I have my best friends childhood teddy bear tattooed with her initial âCâ in it, and she has my childhood teddy bear with my initials âSRâ
-I have a jester my friend drew for a flyer and in her handwriting the word âsmegmaâ in the balloon the jester is holding because itâs the title of my favorite song my friend wrote (linked the song btw) she has a rat she drew and in my handwriting âsewer ratâ which is my nickname and my tag
-me and my friend were walking around her neighborhood in the sunset district and found an old book on the sidewalk and it had so many cool drawings/symbols in it and both of our favorite shape is a spiral so we each got one of the symbols from the book on our hand

when you're sitting alone in public, feeling at peace with being another person in all of which is; observing the motion around you

i don't limit love to just a romantic partner. I have a queer platonic life partner (long word for my best friend) whom I love muchly. I have many people I love in different capacities, but no one in particular currently that I share a romantic love with!
I keep my heart open to allowing love to meet us where we're at, to which capacity it evolves to
