Melancholy Monday. Im feeling a-lot of emotions today.
i had the pleasure to do my first tattoo back on skin on
@alilovestheearth 🤍
Ali was one of my first friends ever to get tattooed by me when I was an apprentice, She has been a great support for me through all of life's shenanigans.
Back in August, I had began to realize I lived my life in a constant state of fight or flight, September I decided to slow down, and even though that was scary I trusted myself.
I now find myself here.
In winter, season of shedding, death and rebirth.
Growing up is gruesome, age 25 is the tip of the iceberg.
I understand that life cant be peaches and cream all the time, but i will say having good friends and clients do make all the difference.
I am very grateful to have the opportunity to explore myself as an artist with Ali and to have her trust as we navigate life together.
I am grateful to be able to slow down and just enjoy living for a bit, and to be able to curate a space that is comforting and welcoming.
Getting tattooed is a vulnerable state for both the client and artist, so building something we both can expand and feel safe in is my priority.
Saturday, I was able to explore with a new organic flow, something that feels a little more natural, like the flow in life, and i open my studio doors to any curious souls who need a slow down or pick me up in these holiday seasons. 🤍🐦⬛ back in the saddle, but this time i have plenty of time.
