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).

choosing on a whim — something small

My first tattoo is a really simple representation of a ghost. I was 19, and my friend in college and I had been drawing and he drew a ghost I just really liked. I had some friends who got into doing stick-and-pokes, and one night while we were drinking in our dorm rooms, I decided I wanted a tattoo of it, so my friend Michelle gave me this little tattoo on my arm. It’s stilll one of my favorites and somehow the one I get the most compliments on—it’s small and simple and it’s just a sweet little friend on my arm! I find that I’m most happy with the ones I don’t think too hard about. I remember my friend worrying that I’d regret it, but instead I woke up very pleased :)
