I Regret Everything
Do me a favor and think about the worst decision you've ever made. Got it? Good. Now, hold onto that memory. Here's the part where I talk about my tattoos. I got my first one in a decrepit basement of a now estranged family member, who, for legal reasons, shall be called "M." It was the summer of 2013, I was 20-something years old, and wanted to start living authentically, which meant doing the one thing I knew my parents would disapprove of, getting a forearm tattoo.

Get a Tat? Good idea???
I don't have a tattoo. I've never really wanted a tattoo. I've considered the pros and cons, the merits involved, and I've pondered if having one would somehow prove a personal point or change me in some way. So, I have been deliberate in my decision. And please know that my choice to not have one was not predicated on any fear or bigotry about them or the people that have chosen differently than I did.

A Tattoo Tale:
I adore telling stories, and my tattoos will tell you about my very own. Folks say your body is your temple, I just choose to paint the walls. When I view myself in the mirror I see the tattoos that I have and the one I have yet to get. The tattoo process was always just uncovering what is already there, revealing my chosen birthmarks. I believe I have gotten a tattoo or piercing yearly since my first tattoo as a promise to keep investing in myself so I don't forget about me. Let's go on a tour through time, we'll start at the beginning as tradition goes.

If my tattoos could talk
So I started to get tattoos when I was in my twenties. I have three and want more. My first one is a infinity symbol with the word love incorporated on one of the loops and the cross in the other loop. At the time I was more religious than I am now. At the time it represented the faith I held so dear. Now it represents the faith I still believe in but also my journey. I'm now more spiritual. I got in on my right foot. It didn't really hurt, it was more just annoying when she went back over it. It literally took five minutes once I was in the chair and she started the needle.

They choose you!
At times you may feel that you have the power to choose your tattoo; and the for the most part you are correct, however in my case 3 out 4 of my tattoos chose me. Yes, you read that correctly, my tattoos chose me. The 3 tattoos I am referring, to are a tribal peacocks feather, a tribal black widow, and a wolf in a dreamcatcher. It’s always that adrenaline rush when you’re about to get new ink. It’s EXHILIRATING! Let me take it back to when I got my peacocks feather. It was something about feathers that was trending at the time, and of course I felt the need to follow suit, but I felt the need to be original. Feathers can be very dainty and elegant, which is fine, but I wanted something a little more edgy. I figured hey let’s get something tribal, very minimal not to flashy. Saw the perfect image on google and knew right away that was it. Now where I got my tattoo, was the inside of someone’s garage. Now before you judge, it was quite sanitary okay! He used fresh needles and I felt confident that he knew what he was doing. Now it had been about 3-4 years since I had a tattoo, and this would be considered my 2nd tattoo so I was nervous. Needless to say, my tattoo turned out great.

Quarantine Kanzashi I
I have always had a tepid relationship with my own hair. It is thick, black and curly, and although I love designing and creating fantastical hair accessories, I hardly have the time, energy or desire to work with my own hair. The more stressed I am, the more unruly I let it become.

Why My Tattoos Have No Meaning
I have twenty something tattoos on my body! About three of them have meaning to them! While a lot of people feel it is necessary that you must have a meaning to your tattoos as they are on you forever, I disagree. When I tell people many of my tattoos do not have a meaning, they tend to be shocked! I have had many a rant from a stranger that the ink is on my body forever therefore, it must have a super special sentiment to me! The meaning is that it looks cool and I like it! The only thing that matters is that you like your tattoos! That is literally it! I do understand that many people want meaning to their tattoos and I totally respect that. I just cannot face another lecture off a stranger in the street over my tattoos.
