  • I’m not in your industry but I briefly flirted with the idea. I’ve had a lot of my drawings, for better and worse lol, be used by others for tattoos. When I was considering it I was primarily doing apprentice work as a piercer, which in South Florida was (is still maybe) pretty common to do both.

    I’ve never done a piercing on someone that I haven’t done on myself. Had a friend come in for an eyebrow and insisted I do it. They bled a lot, more than usual but otherwise everything was ok, the pierce was fine, they loved it. That was it for me. I couldn’t settle myself with screwing something like that up

    So I would appreciate knowing you take your role seriously. Maybe try to reframe the stress you feel into the honor you have to be trusted to do what you do. Unsure if you did any of your leg work but if so, as a fan of pure black I’d trust you



  • Apparently being barefoot is a real threat to y’all.

    I already wear minimal sole shoes unless I’m on my bike or working with heavy tools/equipment.

    I’m almost always barefoot at and around my home, even in freezing temperatures for brief periods. The last time my family went to hanging rock mountain it was a cool day so about a third of the way up I said fuck it and spent the rest of the day barefoot. It was awesome I loved standing directly on the mountain top without my shoes on.

    I watch my step in unfamiliar places. I’m not saying I never step on sharp objects but after over a decade in South Florida with sand spurs a daily experience of my childhood life, I’ve gotten pretty good at feeling my step before I make it.

    I’m not saying it’s for everyone or without risk of injury. I’m not saying there aren’t time for shoes. But some of y’all are acting like going outside and feeling the earth under your feet is going to sentence you to death. Like, good thing Prometheus invented Nikes before he wasted time on fire
