this is quite good. Makes me think a lot about how (and maybe why) tattooing is sodeeply rooted human history.
It does make me feel good that I have a job where I connect with people. Even if I do a tattoo on someone and I never see them again. Like, there’s that connection with that conversation, and both of us are going to remember that, because your body remembers that. That’s why I like to continue to do it. Whether you’re getting, like, something out of grief or fun or whatever, it’s with you forever, you know, unless you get a potato peeler or you cover it up. I love it for the fact that I can operate in a way that I think a lot of our society in the Western capitalist culture trains us not to. You know, you go and get your food, you don’t make a connection with your server or whatever, like, you get it with the QR codes or you get on the app.
