"What is a piece of art that you have, or would love to have, hanging on your wall or sitting in your house?"

I just moved recently, so I'm still sort of getting things situated with what's getting hung where.

That said, in the last few places I've lived I've had a couple different iterations of my mirror wall. I thrifted a bunch of mirrors...

Thanks @fredhincanada for the great idea, and @kiley for putting me onto it!

Tell us about one of your favorite songs of all time.

At any given time, I tend to have 2-3 favorite songs: there's my favorite song of all time, and my favorite song(s) of the moment.

A moment might be a day, a week, months, or even up to a year. Often...

👋🏻👋🏻 I'm alive 😅

It's been hectic! But mostly good? I moved and started a new job this past month, which was why I've been pretty quiet. Also finally ran my marathon!

I bought a house! 🙏🏻😭💜 I didn't think that was going to happen for a while after the great deal I had over the summer fell through, but the realtor I worked with...

26 miles and some 5,000+ feet of elevation gain later, we did it :) from north rim to south rim of the Grand Canyon with @adastra 💜 we hiked across the canyon in a single day. One of my fave hikes and I'm so glad I got to share it with my best friend 😄

And we're going to hike the Grand Canyon rim to rim! I've done the r2r a few times now, but it'll be @adastra's first time. It's one of my favorite hikes - I just think it's so incredibly beautiful and special and I'm so excited to share it with my best friend 🥰

This is actually our second time going to the Grand Canyon together...

It's sort of felt like 2024 has had it out for me from the get go 😅. Every time it feels like the dust is settling, something new. I'm trying to find some grace in it, and in myself. Everything is a learning experience.

Bear with me. I know I get rambly on a good day sometimes, and it's currently well past my bed time....

Spoke too soon on the house. The sellers lied about how much they owed on the loan I was assuming. Got blindsided with the extra when I was sent loan paperwork. Counter offered on purchase price to cancel out the difference and they declined. Should have known it was too good of a price to be true.

Unfortunately everything is kind of fucked now. Already...

Yesterday I did my 14th and 15th tattoos on skin, and it was also exactly one month since I started tattooing on skin. Still also practicing on fake skin, drawing, and observing the artists in the shop as I continue my apprenticeship. Still enjoying it a lot!

Working two jobs full time has been catching up to me though. I'm a little mentally spent/fried, but...

Sorry I haven't been as active - turns out that working two full time jobs is kind of a lot 😅 thankfully still loving the tattoo apprenticeship. I actually sit for my body artist permit test tomorrow, and then start tattooing on skin on Thursday. I am nervous/excited/anxious/ecstatic.

I'm also pretty mentally checked out of my day job. I'm not sure how long it will...

I'm sorry I've been less active here, I've been grinding working full time and at my tattoo apprenticeship all the rest of the time. It would mean so much if you could follow and support my art/tattoo Instagram for my birthday though 🙏🏻🥹💕
