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.

The Picture That Spoke a Few Thousand Characters
Meaningless notifications from the Linkedin app led me to my girlfriends profile; A beautiful black woman. After 10 seconds of scrolling the news feed, then 20 seconds of adding random people with cool pics, and titles, I see her. I had never seen this picture, and I was filled with a weird anxious feeling. I get like this whenever she posts pictures on Social Media, which is rare. Her popping up on my feed, is like an Easter Egg in a Marvel movie, or actually seeing a unicorn walk down the street. Its always a rare sighting, and I'm always freaked out for some reason. I texted her to tell her how beautiful the picture was, and how I felt seeing it, and then some more compliments; that I hope she enjoyed as well. I closed the apps, and went back to listening to The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi on YouTube.
