Tattooing fulfills some deep down urge from some past time

Tattooing fulfills some deep down urge from some past time. It’s hard to explain. Something about coming together and creating a mark, then tapping it into the skin as a permanent reminder of something long past, or hope for an often distant future. Some represent change, others a promise to remain. Others are a chance to regain something forgotten. Still others just a way to fit in, or something to remind us there is beauty inside. Or a place to hide when things seem dark. Limitless.

Seeing my tattoos in the wild gives me endless joy. Hearing the stories and the wins brought on by my work… no-kaoé (nothing like it)

Anyway. Nicole wears this piece proudly I’ve watched it help transform her being and open up new roads and possibilities.

I’d love to tattoo everyone and everything that comes to me, but it’s just not possible. I have to be selective, and I’m moving towards tattooing only my work in the future. Ideas are great, but forcing something to bend a certain way when it wants to naturally go a different way breaks it. takes the souls out of it. And without that soul, the tattoo seems lifeless to me. The people I chose to work with are the same; they inspire the flow and that’s where the magic is.

Anyway. Thanks for looking. 🤙🏼.
