Hello, my loves!
These days I did my second prison tattoo.
That's right "Prison Style Tattoo".
After a few years of being tattooed, my first tattoo I was 16 years old and it was this Mexican skull with the roses on my chest. Today at 30 I see that over the course of these years the tattoo has become a lifestyle, a way to thicken myself, a way to idealize things, to become strong and carry all this with me.
Moments, stories and meanings.
This is my friend Charles, oddly enough Charles also put my first eyebrow piercing when I was 11 years old, yes I filled my father's patience for him to take me and authorize. A few years later at 13 I broke my tongue and at 21 the septum and these I still have with me today.
I live the body modification of this new one I always found very beautiful women and men with tattoos, piercings and different hair. It reminded me when I was 13 years old and someone told me "Because you don't become a Suicide Girls!"
When I saw some girls I was delighted, and it was beautiful to see that there are girls that I could mirror myself and that I was no different.
The first prison style I did, I did when I had a motorcycle accident and I was very hurt, the phrase was a reminder for me "Never Die Easy!".
Charles makes the prison machines, paints the painting by hand with good phrases or drawings and never repeats the art. In the end
You take your prison machine, with your painting and your tattoo. To be able to live this moment as if it were one of the beginnings of the tattoo even when it was more marginalized, I feel happy. Here in Brazil people who had tattoos were marginalized and discriminated against for their tattoos, and this is part of the history of the tattoo. We only know the price we pay for liking to be like this.
For me it is not an aesthetic issue, but a lifestyle!
After 4 years, I decided to do:
• The playboy rabbit that today I admire a lot for being one of the first magazines and brand that involves so much. It has its value, it has its history. (A classic of naked women.)
• With the helmet from the movie easy rider, you know how much I love this movie and everything it means to me about freedom and the world two wheels.
• And finally and most importantly the name "Suicide Girls" that 13-year-old girl grew up, and today she is here writing this blog for this community that I love more every year and every day that passes.
Today but that I always feel like a "Suicide Girls" for being a person who committed suicide of society and all the bonds that the world brings us, that it is for cultural, religious and social issues.
Today I carry this name even more with me because I know I live it every day when I choose to be "I", when I choose to do what I want to do, and not what people expect from me.
“Nothing in the past, Everything in the Future.”
“a tattoo never leaves you!”
Xoxo, babes! Take care, Maciel 🫶🏻✨
