“The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change: Yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is.”

– Paulo Coelho

“I fish to scratch the surface of those mysteries, for nearness to the beautiful, and to reassure myself the world remains. I fish to wash off some of my grief for the peace we so squander. I fish to dip into that great and awesome pool of power that propels these epic migrations. I fish to feel – and steal – a little of that energy.“

“There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go…”

I think the greatest thing about this entire process is that everytime I give someone a tattoo, I in essence get one too. Each of them layered with such personal meaning, not only to the canvas they find themselves on, but for me as well. See - this is my spiritual practice, my way of spreading light and connecting with humans from all walks of life. Spending time with friends and strangers who have chosen me to leave a permanent mark on their lives, working with their ideas and intentions to create art for their skin. What a beautiful opportunity to enrich their lives with meaning, and also my own. Today I give thanks yet again for this art, for the evolution and for the people I’ve attracted into my world. 🙏🏼

Ichō, or ginkgo, is an ancient species, the only extant member of a division of tree, Ginkgoales that flourished during the age of the dinosaurs. 🦖 And so the ginkgo has been a symbol of longevity: the tree can live for a thousand years!
✨
And even more profound is it’s endurance: 4 ginkgos survived the blast at Hiroshima and are still growing today.
✨
Wowsers... Perfect piece for a tattoo - I’d say 🍃🦖 Power to the everlasting Gingko 🍃 Nature continues to blow my mind!

you cannot see the thunder
the hunger inside the lightning
it will never be still
it will keep you up all night
a driving force that keeps you moving forward
toward the powerful thoughts we notice
it is a momentum with extravagant implications
if you will always explore
it will always ignite
do not ignore it’s call

let’s be wildflowers,
let our souls be scattered by the wind.
let us grow, wild and free,
tall and brave,
in the places that we dream,
in spaces where our longings are filled.
let us flourish between the cracks
of brokeness,
and make everything beautiful ✨

Keep shining that bright light you two!
Magical humans with rainbow souls ✨

I love to give my human canvases options / at least three illustrations for them to choose from. I love it when they struggle to make a choice ✨
.
With much contemplation Sarah decided to go the middle one : the flying fish / and what a beautiful lil tattoo it made (will upload the tattoo pic soon). So perfectly suited for this wonderful woman who also happens to be a fisheries scientist 💦 pow! I hope it still makes your heart go thud.

Out of curiousity - which one is your fav?

"One day at a time" ✨
.
.

Something my mamma said to me so often in my younger years. A mantra I'm sure many of us are adopting during these wild times that we find our selves in - and a darned good one to keep on repeat. 〰️
.
As the saying goes: all good things take time (growing an avo 🥑 tree from a seed will totes teach you that). Time blesses us with growth, 🍃 with patience, with learning, with the ability to keep evolving.
.
What if we trusted the divine timing of our lives? Surrendering to it's ebs and flows - it would mean less resistence - and more allowing... and in this way perhaps things will unfold just right. ✨ #believeinmagic ✨
.
This is the last custom tattoo I created pre Rona. I haven't tattooed in almost two months!!! And goodness gracious - I didn't realise how much I needed a break from it til it came (even though it happened in the strangest most abrupt way - #lockdown2020).
.
In hindsight I feel as though I have been gifted with space, with more time, down time - extra energy for other creative projects. I also know that time away from the things we love to do sometimes means we get back to doing them with an even deeper love - and fresh perspective. 🍃 and heyyyy / we may even return with more zest and vigour : absence totally makes the heart grow fonder <3
.
Gonna leave ya with this- in the words of someone Great - "All we have to decide is what we have to do with the time given to us" ✨🕰✨ .
