I have a totally cool and unique tattooing opportunity (yay more ink!) and it got me thinking about the topic as it relates to our hobby. So let’s discuss. If you have ink, what is your relationship like with it? Do you consider your ink masculine, feminine, or neutral? Do you have tattoos you’ll only show off in one mode or the other? Do you have any old ink you regret because it interferes with your dressing? Is there anything you’d like to have that reflects/enhances your fem side?
If anyone is interested in what this “opportunity” is, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles is going to be hosting an exhibition on the history of tattooing. As part of the exhibition, they are bringing in famous local tattoo artists to give tattoos to people there in the museum during the exhibit. Each artist came up with a flash sheet of unique designs to choose from that they have agreed to be exclusive to this exhibition. If any of you are interested you can see all the participating artists and their flash sheets at the NHMLA website and you can sign up for an appointment there. Not sure how fast they’ll book up, and you will still have to pay the artist ($250 fee).
