One of my childhood friends and I got dog tattoos because he’s my dawg. Anyways, I let him pick the spot (issue 1) that was in a super sketchy part of Philly (issue 2) and the artist seemed a little out of it (issue 3) — anyways after a month it started to blow out and now it has no detail work, just a lot of thick lines. It’s ok, it’s part of the journey. But it’s one of the ones where I wish we had gone to a better shop.

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 ā€œgoodnight nobodyā€ 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 ā€œgoodnight nobodyā€ 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 ā€˜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).

-I have my best friends childhood teddy bear tattooed with her initial ā€œCā€ in it, and she has my childhood teddy bear with my initials ā€SRā€ -I have a jester my friend drew for a flyer and in her handwriting the word ā€œsmegmaā€ in the balloon the jester is holding because it’s the title of my favorite song my friend wrote (linked the song btw) she has a rat she drew and in my handwriting ā€œsewer ratā€ which is my nickname and my tag -me and my friend were walking around her neighborhood in the sunset district and found an old book on the sidewalk and it had so many cool drawings/symbols in it and both of our favorite shape is a spiral so we each got one of the symbols from the book on our hand

I have 16. Mostly I just have worked with good artists and told them roughly what I want and turn them loose and fill in spots. They all hurt, my elbow was not pleasant but the bony part of my forearm was my personal worst. It’s been a year since I got one but I’m sure I’ll get more sometime.

I feel like there’s a special connectivity on this app that I haven’t felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010’s tumblr. The fact that you can’t promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isn’t mass video content like Tik Tok is great. It’s not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup). Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope we’ll all be here for a long time.

florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones — we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight. In all seriousness — weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. It’s made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love. I just never thought I’d feel the same way about URL friends. I’m constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed. It’s nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. I’m going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
