-I have my best friends childhood teddy bear tattooed with her initial âCâ in it, and she has my childhood teddy bear with my initials âSRâ
-I have a jester my friend drew for a flyer and in her handwriting the word âsmegmaâ in the balloon the jester is holding because itâs the title of my favorite song my friend wrote (linked the song btw) she has a rat she drew and in my handwriting âsewer ratâ 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 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- itâs on my rib cage- it says âgoodnight nobodyâ which is pulled from the childrenâs 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 âgoodnight nobodyâ felt poignant for all kinds of reasons. Just a call into the void in a childrenâs book?
A rendition of a sculpture from Portia Munsonâs installation âBound Angelâ 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 (helgaâs 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 havenât 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).

đfor the summer yaaaaaay. but heres a story: last year my friends and i went on a beach trip, some of my friends wanted to get a tattoo (i wanted but didnt have the money) so the did, they all got the same one, a flower, and on the same place except one, she had the same tattoo but instead of the hip, on her collar bone.
turns out she's not our friend anymore since that trip cause she did some fcked up shit. so, yeah now my friends have a matching tattoo with her, they say they dont regret it but thank god i didnt get the tattoo cause it would automatically reminded me of her.
anyways, this summer were doing the exact same trip, this time without her, and were planning on getting a matching tattoo, the name of our friendgroup đ.

These are the tattoos that have some amount of meaning.
The bridge was a flash piece but I chose it because it reminds me of one of my favourite books, The Fall by Albert Camus.
The puzzle piece doesnât really mean anything, but I got it on a trip to Portland so it is sort of my souvenir tattoo.
The Pisces symbol because I am a Pisces âď¸
The snake in the flowers was my first tattoo and I wanted it to be vaguely reminiscent of the Three of Wands tarot card. I wanted an ambiguous orientation because the cards more or less represents the future with the reverse meaning saying you will face obstacles, and the upright meaning saying itâll be smooth sailing. I got it during my first year of college, and I didnât know what I had ahead of me.
âNothing Mattersâ partially because of my obsession with existential philosophy, and partially because of the lyrics from Wolfman by The Front Bottoms- âNothing Matters, the importance of nothingâ
