intentional fine line artistry

life lately and i couldn’t be more grateful it’s has been a full year of death to all the versions of me who aren’t coming with me into this next chapter the versions of me who’ve never known a life completely on my own i’ve always been a daughter, a young momma, a girlfriend, a wife never just…..me it’s been a full year of exploring what that version of me looks like and how to bring her to life if i said it wasn’t fucking terrifying, i’d be lying the grief of letting go of all i’ve ever known has literally brought me to my knees soul shattering, primal release of locked away pain and fear and i understand now that not everyone is here to do this type of work to meet every piece of themselves and welcome them without running to meet these painful moments and let them move through you some are here to simply be a catalyst to this work and as awful as some can be..what a brave path to take as well (if you understand, you understand) all this to say….while the funeral isn’t over yet…i am still grateful for the time i’ve had to experience it all to strip it all away and let it die to make room for the inevitable rebirth i’m not sure what the next chapter looks like yet but i’m excited to let it unfold thank you for sticking around for my journey you give me reason to show up and to share what’s alive for me i feel like there’s a storyteller in me waiting to break free

for her abuelo and her children…a true full circle of life 🫶🏼 #mexico #memorialtattoo #finelinefloral #monarchtattoo #ohiotattooers

i am devastated upon pulling out of my drive this morning i could see the crows gathered around something down the road a bit when i got closer my heart shattered 💔 it was our beloved owl the mystery we heard cry in the woods for some time now living here alone the last few months…she made me so feel safe her loud screeching cries are said to ward off threats and proclaim the territory one night i believe she came so close to the house to cry, alerting the dogs….i woke up to them in full attack/protection mode something had to be close enough to the house and she wanted their help to keep it away i got to see some amazing glimpses of her, take a few blurry shots and she even left me two feathers to remind me how protected and watched over i was i haven’t spoke much about my journey this year but this owl saw me through the hardest parts… the sleepless nights…the bone deep grief i have processed her cries were rhythmic, primal….soothing constantly leading me back to my own power…my own voice she reminded me of how connected we are to all of this and how momma (the loving energy of consciousness we come from) is always here guiding, protecting, nurturing and now she is once again asking me to let go let go and turn within…. turn back into the earth….surrender and trust this life we’re in now is meant to be lived in the embody presence we’ve been given to honor the sacred and to live in right relation to the land and its inhabitants may her essence live as that reminder…to me and for anyone who resonates blessed be sweet friend 🖤🦉

It’s magic how it all moves with the body…. #finelinetattoos #finelinefloral #ohiotattooers #peonytattoo #thightattoo
