I have 6🎀

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- it’s on my rib cage- it says “goodnight nobody” which is pulled from the children’s 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 “goodnight nobody” felt poignant for all kinds of reasons. Just a call into the void in a children’s book? A rendition of a sculpture from Portia Munson’s installation ‘Bound Angel’ 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 (helga’s 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 haven’t 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).

im planning on it

for the summer yaaaaaay. but heres a story: last year my friends and i went on a beach trip, some of my friends wanted to get a tattoo (i wanted but didnt have the money) so the did, they all got the same one, a flower, and on the same place except one, she had the same tattoo but instead of the hip, on her collar bone. turns out she's not our friend anymore since that trip cause she did some fcked up shit. so, yeah now my friends have a matching tattoo with her, they say they dont regret it but thank god i didnt get the tattoo cause it would automatically reminded me of her. anyways, this summer were doing the exact same trip, this time without her, and were planning on getting a matching tattoo, the name of our friendgroup 🍜.

reclaiming meaningless tattoos

i love coming up with different stories depending on who’s asking, what mood i’m in, how much time i have to explain. but lately, i’ve totally started copping out and saying ‘it’s personal’ every time the topic comes up. admitting to getting something so permanent on your body ‘just cause’ 🤪 feels daunting, especially when most peoples’ reason for never getting a tattoo is that they can’t decide what would be important or visually pleasing enough to have on them at all times. now, this indifference towards my silly ink has made me doubt or even dislike some of it and i’m not about that! at all!! my interests have always been in a state of flux but i’ve also always gotten so much joy from self expression and all my pointless tattoos are markers of times when that joy was there, or when i was searching for it. so as practice, here’s a short intro to my latest ink 🤍 i got it on a whim in argentina from an artist a friend recommended. it’s a little streetlight on my leg and while, objectively, it means nada to me, it represents this trip where i grew closer to my friends by seeing them through the lens of their culture, the life of a friend that was lost while i was here, a person that i met that helped me grieve and made me uncover parts of me i had been caging for some time. tomorrow it might be in honor of remy, the sweet-sweet kitty that weighted-blanketed me through the whole session. either way, i’m cool with it.
