The role of the tattooer requires us to straddle the liminal spaces.
Where we hold space for others & allow them also to hold their own.
A space where we guide without manipulating, work as a conduit but also as an Artist with our own ideas & fleshed out thoughts & bodies.
We are of the body & yet we are a vessel.
We work what appears to be the most permanent thing we can do but in reality it is the most impermanent. For doesn’t our body decay and eventually move into the earth or ash?
