The first professional tattoo I ever got was the Elephant from the album cover of The Glow Pt. 2 on my right calf (secretly done in bushwick on a family trip to new york when I was a senior in high school)I found this album in my sophomore year of highschool and it was the closest thing I have felt to a spiritual awakening. It’s raw, experimental, beautiful, and deeply vulnerable. It has been a key inspiration to a lot of my art and music since I was 16.

I have 6, all fine linework except for a trad style convo heart on my upper thigh. I love hand poke from professionals - it’s 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), “form” on the back of my left arm, and the lightbulb eye from Picasso’s 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 it’s 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 it’s gonna hurt and the more intensive the healing process

I was put onto this show the first time I lived in London by our friend and Engineer for the last two Lowertown projects, Joseph. It’s about two fucked up 30 yr olds living in London who are shit people in different ways. They destroy each other’s lives but also need each other to fill the painful, all consuming loneliness.  it’s relatable, disgusting, existential, yet very light hearted and completely hilarious.It has become my all time comfort show, and I’ve seen all 9 seasons in their entirety an upwards of 5 or 6 times.

I’ve been obsessed with video games since I was a  small, teeny, little baby . My favorite kinds of games are open world and the really repetitive, calming, grindey ones, and Stardew falls under both. I’ve put over 300 hours of my life into this game and played it obsessively when we were recording my band’s EP “The Gaping Mouth”.At first, the game seems pretty simple. You have your farm that you tend to next to a town full of different npc’s, but the more time you sink in, you realize there’s a lot of depth to the characters, and many different areas and secrets to the game. There’s mining, fighting monsters, mysteries, a few secretly profound lines of dialogue and some really dark but real story lines for some characters.

I’ve been taking ashwagandha supplements at the end of every day for about 2-3 months now. I’ve found (at least I think) it’s been helping with my anxiety and stress levels throughout a given day. I also suffer from bad insomnia, and since I’ve started taking it, I feel like my sleep has gotten better.
