I'm not wild about my first tattoo! Other people seem to like it way more than I do.
It was a fun experience, though. Even though Yakuza was next to me getting their back done... (That felt scary okay.)
I eventually added to it what I originally wanted. So I feel pleased with it overall. Looks cute now 🌸
At least it will be a fun memory for you?

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).

I've been wanting to do this for yearrrrs. Finally. FINALLYYY.
It doesn't stick to glass, but it does stick to itself.
100% cotton fabric, prewash and dry.
Cut with a shearing scissors to prevent fraying. (Or hem.)
I opted for a 1:1:1 ratio of beeswax, coconut oil, and pine resin. Double boiler to melt.
Apply less and layer the wax as needed.
Mm... Spreading with a spoon did not work as well as a silicone brush.
Iron under parchment paper to spread + seal. (Or bake at 200⁰ F briefly.)
Hottt water + soap for clean up (hands, utensils, etc.)
Cold water to clean the cloths, as needed.
*A steamer can take out any wax mix spills on the floor. (We listen, and we don't judge )
I love it. It made my kitchen smell like pine and propolis.

I'd like a stronger affirmative/feedback that I liked a post.
Somehow I click it like 5x liking and unliking it and unsure if it went through. I think the stars change color now from white to yellow.
