Woke up at 4am in a panic over a drunk text I couldn’t figure out how to un-send. Except the text and the drinking and all of it was a dream, and now I’m just Awake :)

Booking a tattoo appointment is so exciting as long as you don’t look at your bank statement first

Big thank you to my partner, a couple of friends, and a v good therapist for getting me through 2024. I have no hope of making it to midnight tonight, but here’s hoping 2025 is less of a shit show 🤞🏻

Me and Jer were talking about Pokémon tattoos do you want to get a Pokémon tattoo we should all go get Pokémon tattoos

Saw a man talking on the phone while using a urinal today. Junk in one hand, phone in the other. I don’t want to judge (out loud) but, what the actual fuck

First block-in layer complete, sans eyes because my brush was too big and I got tired. I feel like I'm almost starting to get better at skin tones 😅
