36-year-old caregiver from California got her first tattoo 20 years ago, as she only got a dragon on her arm. After she met a tattoo artist, she decided to have a dragon on her back too.
“The tattoo process is more important to me than the tattoo itself,” the woman shared. “It is very ritualistic, meditative, and can even be spiritual at times.”
After she involved in a romantic relationship with the tattoo artist, she became his canvas. After the tattoo artist passed away 10 years after their relationship started, she decided to cover her body with ink to honour him.
“There’s meaning behind my whole suit. It’s a tribute to one of the best tattooers I ever had the honor of knowing.” The caregiver shared.
She stated that the tattoo process is a “meditation” for her. “It really pushed me to learn a thing or two about surrendering to something greater than myself, surrendering to pain.”
A recovering tattoo addict, Falcon shared their thoughts as, “I used to treat the tattoo process like the 11th step of AA, seeking through prayer and meditation to improve conscious contact with power.”
“If someone doesn’t like me because I have tattoos in the real world, they just ignore me, but the internet gives a lot of people the opportunity to safely tell me that they dislike me because of the artwork I have on my body.” 36-year-old caregiver shared.
