"Its no use going back to yesterday, I was a different person then."
An artwork representing change and life's different chapters for Karen. Created 2020.
Judging life based on the current state of events and one's emotional state is like slapping up a book randomly in the middle, reading a page, then writing a critique on the whole book.You haven't finished the story yet you beautiful beautiful fool.
Fingers run through the pages, the moon shrinks and grows, wind blows through the vegetation separating what needs to be carried away.
Thank you Karen for sharing your story openly, and for your trust allowing me to create for you.

A wise man once told me that the longest journey I will ever embark on is the journey from my head to my heart. And so as I'm not one to waste my time, I learned to listen to my gut instead.
Consciousness starts in your gut, so be mindful about what you eat and keep processed irritants away from it.
Your gut contains hundreds of millions of neurons, which are connected to your brain through nerves in your nervous system sending bidirectional signals. When you damage your gut-biome, you damage your inner wellbeing physically and emotionally.
This also has little to nothing to do with the actual tattoo I just thought I'd carefully spoon-feed you the above.
Thanks for reading! And thank you Elle for your continuous trust over the years. We've been building a sleeve for Elle based on her life experiences over the years. You can see an old healed work the other side of her arm if you swipe.
A lot of the people I get to have the pleasure to work with are returning clientele wh“Your children are not your children. They are sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you. And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for thir souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the make upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness. For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He also loves the bow that is stable.”– Gibran Khalil GibranThank you Ben for your trust and for the complete freedom with your idea! Ben’s “[...] I remembered how all the family would wait for the Tan Huas to bloom in my grandma's garden, we would always say that It was a shame that something so beautiful would last only one night but the wait was worth. I guess what I am trying to say is that you have to embrace the changes because everything is part of you and the person you are becoming and that nothing lasts forever, not the happiness but also not the sadness but should try to find the beauty in everything you face.” ― Melissa Domínguez López
Thank you Melissa for the beautiful thoughts and for the wonderful person you are. Wish you all the best in life.

While they might not fall into one’s lap incidentally, taking action will dramatically increase the amount of possibilities being presented.Tom wanted me to visualize his life experiences from childhood to present day, both good and the bad and his outlook on the future. We spent 3 days together so far, and more is to come. You will see progression of this project in the coming days.“The universe is a multi-dimension al creative process, constantly forming new facets of possibility for you and all living things. Expanding our awareness of the process, we allow ourselves to experience more of it. Every moment we can remember that anything is possible in a realm of endless possibility.”– Marianne WilliamsonThank you Tom for your trust and for the complete freedom with your idea!

We spent 3 days together so far, and more is to come. Can’t wait to put some more days into this project. “The very old and the very young have something in common that makes it right that they should be left alone together.

Everything that is living does so at the expense of another. If the little sapling grows above the grass, it’s killing the grass. If the grass gets hold of the resources first, the sapling never roots. 
I find that Strength does so too as it feeds on the Weakness it stems from until that’s devoured. When you listen intently you will hear one’s resilience whispering the struggles that they had overcome. Therefore you must be content with letting your old self die to discover who you are. 
Thank you Mathilde. The ocean is my happy place too.

Many times in my life when I was on the floor. And when you're on the floor, never allow anybody to pick you up. It doesn't matter how long you stay there, make sure you pick yourself up and dust yourself down. Whatever happens, whether you go home today or you don't go home today, that's irrelevant. What's relevant, is you take the knowledge from the experience and you grow as a person.”— Marco Pierre WhiteThank you Alexandre for your trust and for the complete freedom with your first tattoo!

So arrogant. Everybody's going to save something now. Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save the snails. And the supreme arrogance? Save the planet? We don't even know how to take care of ourselves; we haven't learned how to care for one another. And we're gonna save the planet? By the way, there's nothing wrong with the planet in the first place. The planet is fine. The people are f*ed! Compared with the people, the planet is doing great. It's been here over four billion years. The planet isn't going anywhere. We are! We're going away. Pack your stuff, we're going away. And we won't leave much of a trace. Thank God for that. Nothing left. Maybe a little Styrofoam. The planet will be here, and we'll be gone. Another failed mutation; another closed-end biological mistake.” ― George CarlinThank you Mike for your trust and for the complete freedom with your idea! Cant wait to go back to work and for you all to inspire me with your stories.“I have always had the sensation of having to choose which path in life I should take. I have been torn between the decision of excelling in this physical reality, and doing everything in my power to make my time here on Earth truly incredible. Or to dedicate my life to the exploration of the universe found within, however this would result in excluding myself off to the world around me. After trying the latter for a year I came to the realisation that I need to find a balance, I discovered that love is at the core of both paths but one cannot work without the other, there is a symbiosis at work. I need to find a way to do both…”– ElliotThank you Elliot for the beautiful thoughts, your trust and complete freedom with your idea!

Thank you you all for giving me the freedom to do what I feel is right. Tattooing in the past year has become more than a self expression for me. My process developed to have a strange connection that I was never actively seeking or longing for. A connection with your life stories and feelings, however little may I know about them, I am confident at this point that it will just work itself out. It happened gradually and now it’s symbiotic with the journey.
