tattoos have been on my mind lately so here's a little ramble about them
.

first one at 18 or 19 silhouette of a person filled with space on my left arm got it from a cool spot my ukrainian friend sent me cheap clean quick

next session same day (oops) one colleague dragged me to a girl who banged out several pieces in one go planets on right forearm ananda (same friend) drew them moon jupiter couple others already forgot the full list

then namaste between my tits sanskrit from ayurveda being consciousness bliss or something meant a lot back then now just ink

heart with flowers on left side first from that same girl hate it now would remove

then moved cities met another friend who was a tattoo artist she did a few handpoke on right forearm "horny" on right ring finger (barely took looks meh now) heart on left ring finger little black cat near stomach (people always think it's a thread hanging from my panties lol)

later another girl did red butterfly on right shoulder and poppy flower on right leg covered a razor scar love poppies

then my friend liya/leia (she changes spelling by mood) did a bunch in one session cute squinting sun/flower thing "sugar mama i wanna spend all my money" tiny devil girl cancer sign "darling" (our inside thing body feels good) two hugging figures (one blue)

and the big one wings two 12-hour sessions brutal pain anesthesia barely helped but i love them would keep
.

if i could remove stuff heart on side both ring finger words most of the small ones probably everything except wings cancer constellation and maybe a couple others
.

that's the story ink diary of my 20s
