What if you really could create yourself?
What are the first things you think of that you would change?
What would you give yourself?
The young man who came in and wanted this tattoo, is a twenty year old computer science major from WSU. He likes weightlifting and nerdy shit. I love that combination in a human. It means they’ll be healthy longer. I love helping people put spells on their bodies to cultivate the type of reality they want to live in.

If I could really create myself, I would become a writer/witch in the woods who had a reliable car, on property with good soul/soil, in a great location, with a cute house set up to immediately plant a vegetable garden, with the landscaping made primarily of edible plants, fruit trees, herbs and an excessive array of flowers. Sprinkler system already in the ground.
What I would change about myself immediately, if it took no effort, is my butt and leg hair. My vanity wish would be to be hairless from the waist down- though I could still get excited to keep my bush. Bush hair is protective. It keeps my vulva safe from the elements. My vulva and uterus like to feel safe from the elements.
I would also make it so I didn’t have to worry about money all the damn time. Worry gets me no where. Worry creates stress and anxiety, and distracts me from my goals in life.
Then, I would also make myself indisputably able to handle the stresses of daily life. Just straight capable with no repercussions, no physical illness response, no overwhelming exhaustion from completing simple household chore.
I would give myself physical strength. Energy. Healing. Space and time to experiment. Good food. Expansive time to create. A house cleaner who know how to make a place sparkle, and wanted to trade for tattoos. A gardening buddy who lived in the area and needed to work in the dirt with me.
An ability to write cohesive, eye and emotion catching grants, so I could make money another professional artist way.
Love of , and exceeding ability to do script tattoos. People want words on them. Lettering tattoos, script tattoos, font tattoos- these are the bread and butter of the tattoo industry, and I like toast.
