After we talk, we let the words choose their place: curve meeting curve, meaning slipping into the skin. I don’t use a stencil or a printer—only freehand.
I also don’t use machines. Only my hand and a needle. No buzzing, just the slow ritual of ink, pressed in dot by dot.
*I try to live lightly: as little waste as I can manage. I’ve been vegan for 15 years. A part of what I earn goes to places like foodbank.co and ellispark.org.
