🔮⚔️I’m sure everyone has felt completely stripped of their magick at one point or another. I used to feel so connected, making altars and lighting fires, doing one of the most magical things I could imagine: bringing a human into this world, and yet… some days, I’ve never felt more powerless. I’m starting to think maybe magic isn’t about power, maybe the most magic is in the lack of control, the space between when everything is uncertain and pretty scary. Something about seeds needing to be buried in darkness to grow. 🌱 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 🗡“The vajra is the most important ritual implement of Vajrayana Buddhism.

I have been working with/on Albert for awhile now and his project just fills me with simple joy. A full sleeve of just #textures and madness where I can just go wild and use all the techniques i know. This project has been so freeing and i’m lucky that the wearer of it is such a good company also. Thank you Albert for being such a great Client! Looking forward to start your back! 🥰 #freehand #freemachine (at Toulouse, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqQDEWTsZ_2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I Love GOD + money 🙏💰 Thank ya again @_mykki_ ! #mykkiblanco #tattoo #handtattoo #handstattoo #freemachine #freemachinetattoo #ilovegodandmoney #tattooaugusta #augustatattoo #ruaaugusta (em Original 55)

I originally experimented with using a photo as a guide with machine embroidery in my textiles workshop and wanted to try it again.

My original intention was to create just a thread outline and as I remembered having issues with removing all the paper I reversed the image so that I could use the reverse of the embroidery. Once I’d sewn round the image I started trying to remove the paper, I decided if I got it wet it would be easier which it was! but I stopped before it’d all gone because I really loved the effect I’d gotten. The resulting image is slightly haunting and I think makes much more of an impact than thread alone. I repeated the process with Ray who I’d done an interview with although this time left more of the paper on. Interestingly the pink and yellow inks seem to wash away much quicker leaving a blue/green result (which gets stronger as it dries) the pink and yellow inks also dyed the fabric I was sewing into which creates a nice contrast.

My intention is to use these protraits in my second backdrop which is intended to be much more human and in contrast to the statistics which will hang in front of it.

I chose a photo of myself in a mask at work as I think the current pandemic is obviously having a huge effect on mental health globally. There is likely to be a national/international mental health crisis off the back of this, our mental health system is already severely underfunded and under a lot of pressure which will only get worse without the government properly funding services.

Lo más lindo es el amor propio ✨♥ #handpokers #handmadetattoo #stickandpoke #handpoke #ignorantstyletattoo #hearttattoo #sticknpoke #draw #grlpwr #freemachine

VIII Tataw

Aprendí tres cosas de este tatuaje:

Uno: Que no tengo que tatuar en un lugar donde sienta la presión de que seré descubierta en cualquier momento, aunque... tal vez cuando sea más pro si lo haga porque a quien no le gusta la ilegalidad, jajajaja.

Dos: que sí o sí necesito una luz chida, estoy ciega así.

Y tres: el espacio, no es lo mismo tener un espacio como una camilla que acomodarte en la bancas xD Pero estuvo divertido como una nueva experiencia, jaja :3

Gracias por tirar esquina, Kevin. Tú ya tienes tatuajes gratis conmigo de por vida, jajaja.
