Ngl I teared up a little 🥹🌼

This may be a small piece, but it makes me so happy to share these bits of my culture with others; There's a silent understanding that is shared and it's so beautiful.

The symbolisms, the songs we grew up with, the way we laugh at misfortune, and pay respects to death and to our ancestors. The way will live life fully, knowing that our loved ones will continue to be by our side after they're gone, and that one day we will also cross over to Mictlan, and see our beloved Spirit Guides and loved ones again.

Our culture is so beautiful, and I'm so proud to be Mexicana 💚🤍❤️

La neta casi lloro!

Es una pieza pequeña, pero me hace TAN feliz compartir partes de mi cultura con los demás. Hay un entendido sin palabras que es bellísimo.

Los simbolismos, las canciones con las que crecimos, como nos reimos de los males, y respetamos la muerte y nuestros ancestros. La manera en que vivimos la vida al cien sabiendo que los que amamos siguen a nuestro lado aunque su cuerpo se haya ido, y que algún día nosotros también cruzaremos a Mictlan y veremos a nuestros seres queridos y guías espirituales de nuevo.

Nuestra cultura es bellísima, y estoy super orgullosa de ser Mexicana 💚🤍❤️

I've been bad about posting for waaaaay too long
So here's a piece I did a while back on lovely , and a glimpse of what we're working on adding ❤️

As you all know, I don't usually recommend sessions that go over 4 hours, because as much as some can handle it, we don't want an immune system dip as the immune system is what is responsible for proper tattoo healing. Also the longer the session, the more the skin is inflamed, and the higher the chances of ink retention issues, or the shading won't come out smooth because of the inflamed/open pores.

However, as long as we make sure to take proper precautions, longer sessions can be done without impacting the healing process or your health (yes, "Tattoo Flu" is a thing).

Here are some of my recommendations during the first week of Tattoo healing to ensure your immune system can handle long sessions:

✅ Eat a nutrient dense meal prior to your Tattoo Session, and during the healing process

✅ Hydrate well by drinking at least 64oz of water, and some electrolytes

✅ Make sure to sleep well the day prior to your Tattoo and while it's healing, meaning more than 6 hours of sleep a day 👀

✅ Try to keep your stress levels low, practice your breathing techniques!

✅ Bring healthy snacks, a protein bar or shake, and something hearty to eat halfway

✅ Take emergen-C or similar for at least the first 3 days after your Tattoo

🚫 Don't drink alcohol for at least 3 days prior and 3 days after, same goes for smoking (and hard drugs obviously)

🚫 Don't do high intensity exercise the day of your Tattoo, and at least for the first 3 days after

🚫 Avoid sun tanning and as much direct sun exposure as possible while healing

🚫 Try to avoid or limit consumption of inflammatory foods such as fried foods, processed sugar, refined carbs, and processed meat.

Of course this is in a perfect world, and the younger you are the more you can get away with, but if you want the highest chances of your Tattoo healing great and staying fresh looking for longer, this is your cheat code 😊❤️

Thanks for reading!

Linework session on 👹🐍
Thank you for your trust and flexibility with this design!

I have a lot of work to post because I've neglected my IG for so long, so I'll start with a piece that I'm super excited to work on and finish!

A Shinjya, similar to a Hannya, is the representation of a woman so jealous and possessive it turns into a demon, but in this particular version the anger and sorrow is so intense that it turns snake like.

It represents the buddhist concept of suffering from attachment; A powerful reminder of the consequences of allowing our emotions dominate our spirt.

___________

As my clients know because I don't shut up about it 😂 I am all about working by sessions because it leads to better healing and longevity for your Tattoo, and as a cherry on top, it keeps me from destroying my back and neck further than I have these past close-to-10 years in this career 💀

So thank you all for sticking it out with me through multiple sessions and many years 🥺🫶
