ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ returning to the art (not just the algorithm)ʕ •́؈•̀ ₎ lately, i’ve been pulling my hair out over content—trying to force ideas that “perform” instead of just creating (；一_一) then, i took a walk. left the pressure behind. and remembered: I actually really love filmmaking & animation. not every piece has to be a “viral reel”—sometimes, it’s just about play (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) ♡ so here’s a silly little film ︎✧˖° My lastest lil fimo creature + hand-drawn animation (on my ancient ipad) + a tiny poem i wrote last year. lesson relearned: when things feel hard, come back to the art first. the rest follows (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ (✿˵◕ ॣᴗ ॣ◕˵) sound on! and tell me: do you ever get lost in the “content grind” too? —— #berlintattoo #queertattooer #diytattoo #queerartists #berlincreatives #polymerclay #animatorsofig #fimo

٩( ᐛ )و on tattoos and time. . What draws me most to tattooing as an artistic practice is its profound entanglement with aging, transformation, and decay—forces that resist the sterile pursuit of perfection. In their fading, their blurring, their dialogue with scars and stretch marks, tattoos become testaments to lived experience. They are not static artifacts but dynamic collaborators, bearing witness to the body’s resilience and vulnerability alike. . There is a raw poetry in how ink settles into skin, only to evolve with it—scabbing, stretching, softening—as though the tattoo itself were breathing. It is a rare art form that does not pretend to transcend mortality but instead embraces it, mirroring our own inevitable metamorphosis. A tattoo is never finished; it is a conversation, a collaboration. And perhaps that is its most exquisite truth: it is human. . what are your thoughts? . . . #alkfaen #tattoothoughts #philosophy #berlintattoo #melbournetattoo #fyptattoo #queertattoo
