I have a decent pain tolerance, so I'm really good at ignoring some bad pain. I feel like it's all worth it for the final result.
I have 9 tattoos so far, all but one nerd related

Ah, I haven't gotten a just line work tattoo since 2019 and completely forgot how quick and easy they are. I've also been suffering through large leg tattoos all year and was reminded today that I have a higher pain tolerance in my arms.

I like to write messages on the strips of paper before I fold and smoosh them into shape

3 thin strips of paper that have writing on the back reading:
But what makes night within us may leave stars. -Call the Midwife
I have licked the fire and danced in the ashes of every bridge I have ever burned. I feel no hell from you. -Nicole Lyons
Sometimes you do the right thing and it doesn't work out. That doesn't mean it wasn't worth doing. -Rim of the World

3 thin strips of paper with writing on them that read:
Why did people have to have a purpose? Weren't they enough? -What Big Teeth
And sometimes, no matter what the world says, our hero is the one looking back at us in the mirror. -Leah Johnson
Your kindness is not the problem. The problem is people who take advantage of kindness. -Link Click

3 thin strips of paper with writing that reads:
But everything worth doing is accompanied by fear. -Witchcraft for Wayward Girls
If you're scared of dying, don't be afraid to live.
You have your whole life to take care of yourself. -Court of the Dead

Very lazy styling wearing one of my cotton kimono yukata style because it was too hot outside for October. I know the obi looks a bit of a mess, but that was intentional.
I adore this kimono and had some fun adding a pair of my small horns ✨ for a bit of a Halloween coord 🎃💀🍄
