& then the bees & the moths & the soft pink poppies

…towards love

A week and a half since this beautiful tattoo made its way onto my grateful skin. I posted about it on my Instagram so some of you may have seen it before but I wanted to explore, here, a little further what it means to me to choose to place such imagery on my body…

What does it mean to choose to interact with the body as a canvas?

How does it feed into one’s view of self?

I no longer beat about the bush when I talk about the things my body has survived.
