At one this afternoon I have an appointment with my hetero-lifemate, Becca Roach at North Star Tattoo NYC to do the top of my hand. Also another friend from the tattoo world featured my back in his blog today, Tattoosday http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2012/10/kates-marie-antoinette-tattoo-and-look.html?spref=fb .
So since it’s a rather inked out day, here’s the skinny on my middle to lower back.
The large piece in process is a Gypsy, or as some would prefer, the Wild Woman archetype. To put it simply; the bitch in all of us that really let’s her hair down. She does what she wants, goes where she pleases and has a strong connection to the occult.
I feel she played a strong role in my development and as a younger individual I ran amok trying to find a place in this world. Literally moving from place to place until I found my niche in New York City.
Now I’ve put the gypsy behind me, literally. But not to be forgotten. To be remembered and learned from still. My wild days are behind me but my spirit hasn’t much changed. It’s just gotten, “responsible.” Lame? For some yes, (eye roll)…
The snake of temptation is of course her friend and Becca and I figure the skull is of someone that may have pissed her off, slightly…sounded about right to me.
It’s gross and rainy and there’s no water in my building so what better to do than to go get colored on?
