inspiration

I think one of my favorite things about having tattoos is challenging the stigma and inspiring people to express themselves through their own body mods. It always makes me feel good to have people tell me that my "bravery" gave them the push they needed to get something they really wanted. Like, a coworker of mine got his neck done recently after seeing mine (he'd wanted to do it for a while but was afraid of social backlash). A local bus driver got her hand done after seeing I had mine done (she told me I inspired her to go for it). Here's a picture of my neck tattoo btw.
