I’ve been fleshing out some naturalist motif of a skull on a pike wrapped in ivy growths. Or on a staff. Maybe with a snake, in homage to the Rod of Asclepius. Figure it’s a good forearm piece.

Or a bird. It always comes back to birds. There’s just a bird for every feeling. A peregrine in a dive, a phoenix taking its throne, a blackbird living life, a raven brooding, an owl observing, a hawk soaring, a seagull eating French fries, a vulture scavenging, a hummingbird hovering, a parrot shouldered, so many options.

It’s the mark of one of the secret societies I’m in. For obvious reasons, I can’t say more.

I have lots of tattoos and am in my dumb fun stuff era. My next is either going to be a Wild Rainier (Rainier beer bottle with legs used in their weird old commercials) with a shot of whiskey, or American trad animals on my kneecaps.

Just need some money to be able to get it. It’s the only thing I have ever seen that I would be 100% okay with inking onto my skin permanently.

My first tattoo was done in a shack with a DIY tattoo kit ordered online.

Afterwards we had DIY beer made with a Mr. Beer kit ordered online.

Not sure what will be next.

Left upper arm shoulder I want to have a set of hexagons and they will look like they are being pulled away with an underwater scene being uncovered.

I also want to expand my back tattoo which is Diablo themed. Angels up high, the dammed down low, with demons, the undead, etcetera, etcetera being killed by some of the different playable characters in the series.

I have a couple names to add on to my right upper arm and some different sea life to my left lower leg.

Next will be a pawprint of my now-deceased cat. She had a cool pattern of black and pink on one paw that I think would be a nice tattoo.

My goal is to have one memory of each of the important animals in my life tattooed somewhere. But tattoos are expensive, so it’s an ongoing project.

Never tattooed in my biological existence, although I kind of… already tattooed something myself using… Let’s say, an inkless manner… But sometimes I think of reinforcing it, which became a scar in my upper arm, through an actual tattoo, the name “לילית”. I didn’t do that yet for a few reasons:
- I know no tattoo artist/professional, and I know this must be done with proper apparata
- I know no tattoo artist/professional that would have the proper spiritual resonance
- I’m not entirely certain She wants me to tattoo this specific name, for She has many names and She may decide to begin manifesting through other name and/or through other specific language (e.g. 𒀭𒊩𒆤𒇲).
- Also financial reasons.

I sometimes also think of tattooing Her seal/sigil and/or the crescent moon and/or an owl.

right arm goals: pixelated Charizard and Kirby and a minimalist solar system in color (blue Earth, Red Mars, etc).

It would be the Cheshire cat from Alice in wonderland. Guess why if you want, it could be very, amusing and most certainly be wrong.

I have plans for a piece on my fore arm of a stylized 3 headed rat. There will be a fancy crown hovering over the arch of its back in blacklight ink so in the right setting it glows.

The Ratking is my favorite mythological creature, in myth they keep and deal in secrets as their rats work as spies. My favorite part though, is that the mythical Ratking is created the same way as the normal one, rats getting stuck together. It’s that mythical from the mundane that I love so much.

Do you know the concept of kintsugi? It’s a Japanese concept where when a dish breaks, you don’t glue it back together with super glue. You glue it back together with gold. The dish is reformed, but its flaws are also on display as a thing of beauty.

Anyway, I know that gold is not necessarily something that would be conveyed well or stay that way in a tattoo.

But I am wanting a kintsugi pot with a bonsai tree growing out of it. The only color will be in the cracks or the pot. The rest I want in black and gray. I’m wanting it on my thigh.

Problem is I have been putting off getting more tattoos for the summer because you can’t swim for like 3 weeks ish after getting one. But I’m a very impatient person!!
