A blackwork scythe has been adopted! Thank you so much Jonathan, for the time, trust, chat and sticker (swipe last for it). If you’ve been tattooed by me you probably know I have a strong political streak and am fiercly passionate about people having rights in general. Tattooing is such a celebration of our physical selves, a chance to connect with ourselves (and others at times) even deeper. It is a beautiful way of self expression, documenting who have been through the various eras. Let’s celebrate each other 🌈 💕🌈 Done durinh my guest spot at WildCat Ink, Dublin. #scythetattoo #calftattoo #witchyvibes #floraltattoo #blackworktattoo #tattooideas #inkedlife

Where to start!
With a thank you.
Thank you for your kindness and compassion. Thank you for the time when we were oh so little, when I was bullied and terrified. You got so furious that you pelted them with the snow meant for my tiny frame. Thank you for giving me a safe haven when I left an abusive relationship. Thank you for believing me.
Thank you for all the talks and sharing your musings on life and art. Thank you for editing my stories and polishing a greater life into them and for sharing your own. You genuinely are one of the best writers I know and the way you use our native language is delightful. Your stories are imbued with sheer magic. Thank you for being there throughout the years, for sharing tales and late night whiskey fuelled rants about politics, travel, plants and ‘isn’t that strange?’
Thank you for being you in the most perfect sense. You are brilliant, intelligent, kind hearted, brave and beautifully creative.
May your future be twined with love, adventures and growth.
Love

Stöndum með Palestínu og Solaris!
21. apríl býð ég upp á flash dag á Aftur og Aftur, Garðastræti 2 til styrktar starfi @solarishjalparsamtok og verkefni þeirra að koma fólki frá Palestínu og í öruggt skjól. Þau hafa sýnt ótrúlegt þol og við getum öll látið gott af okkur leiða. Komið við á Sunnudaginn, fáið ykkur flúr og styrkið gott málefni. Það verða ýmiskonar hannanir í boði☺️ Athugið að þetta er einkaflash dagur sem þýðir að aðrir flúrarar á stofunni eru bara að sinna sínum daglegu verkum.
Solidarity with Palestine and Solaris!
21st April I will be hosting a walk-in flash day at Aftur og Aftur, Garðastræti 2 in solidarity with Solaris and their mission of getting people out of Palestine and to safety. Where the Icelandic government had failed, Solaris and Icelandic citizens stepped up and they are deserving of our support for the work they do.
Come next Sunday, get some ink and support a good cause. 50% of the tattoos will go to Solaris, refugee aid organization. There will be several theme inspired flashes available☺️
Thid will be a solo flash day, so the other artists at the studio are simply going anout their day.
