Not that I’m worried about the other people that were getting tattooed were thinking of me. I guess I just worry how my tattoo artist thinks of me 😆

And also these exchanges have an audience because of the other people in the room. And a story because if your weirdness stands out, people are going to talk about it. AND! These exchanges will stand out more because while tattoo artists tattoo everyday, not everyday does one get tattooed.

Getting tattoos is hard in that sense if you see an artist multiple times and you build a sort of relationship. They’re only going to think of you in these exchanges. And after sitting in pain because I don’t have pain tolerance anymore, it’s like my awkwardness triples.

Where I had to refer to yea I belly dance.
And it’s not the mentioning dance part for me. It’s the mentioning “training” and I worry I came off as yea I train a lot when clearly I’m not buff and trained looking. Like being perceived as a person that has to mention their training- yknow? 😭

She wanted me to stand straight to take a photo and I’m like it’s hard to know what my body is doing after all that clenching. And she mentions posture of course how people don’t realize their bad posture. And I’m like yea even with lots of training.

Should I even ask what they’re getting weird about?

And it seems to be on the adoptee to create/find/cultivate community. It’s like trying to do it out of thin air.

I don’t really have an emergency contact I feel good about. And I am going under maybe a bold assumption that I’ll outlive my adoptive family. That I’ll be around when they are dying, maybe, but no one will be around for me.

An entry point for others to connect to it. Because isn’t that what’s the most successful art is? Is continuing stories and lore and legacy because that is our inherent human foundation. To have proof or ways to connect to the world and each other.

And do we discredit the self-taught, self-learned? Is it only credible art if in some form it has to come from other teachers? And is there something with ego at play? Ego of teacher and ego student?
