revitalizing ancestral traditions

why i tattoo … (a living list):

  • i value meditative activities: drawing, tattooing, knitting, breathing

  • i prioritize connection to African ancestral practices and ways of being in community

  • i provide support to my community and neighbors by aiding in adorning bodies, witnessing stories, and building embodied experiences

  • i practice informed consent, clean technique, and harm reduction

  • Black Trans Lives Matter
