Gorgeous photo and writing. You are so good at packing so much meaning into 100 words. I'm learning slowly from the master 😍😍🥰🥰🤩🤩

Wow! That's amazing! So much detail. I don't have a speck of ink. Too scared. Instead, I have scars. Not of my choosing.

Great title.

I have some of those too ♥️ thank you for your kind words ♥️♥️

Your fairy ink, of Amy Brown art, reminds me so much of our daughter's ink, several of Amy Brown’s work as well, and also of my ink, also of Amy Brown's work, done in honor and memory of Erin.

The love of faerie has also brought me ridicule by a homophobic family member, who associated fae ink with being gay. That comment was immediately countered, in anger, by never speaking with him again.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful artwork and letting me comment on mine.

MESA!

I was just thinking today I need to say the thing I’ve been thinking. Which is that there is some cosmic connection here (beyond fangirling over your fabulous writing 📝💜). So now that I know you are covered in Amy Brown inspired ink, and I desire to be covered in ink, yet have never gotten beyond my one and only 18 year old impulsive Amy Brown inspired fairy, it’s definitive. I’m officially proposing friendship! It’s my signature move ✨🫶🏻✨

Ahhh Mesa! I love Amy Brown and I love your tattoo! Are you familiar with her piece “The Pest”? I have the wings of that faery tattooed on my back, and I have some dragon scale armor ink to boot! Kindreds 🥰

“To show instead of tell.” What a perfect, necessary line, one the entire world could benefit from hearing, then doing. ❤️

Mesa - your poem is breathtaking. The fairies and magic of your skin and now being are separately, yet simultaneously stunning. <insert fairy emoji and dragon emoji! on my laptop for once>
