#with more olive branches as connectinf foliage

[soldier-poet-king]

Everyone who said tattoos were addicting....y'all were right. It's been less than a week and I'm already itching (ha) to get more pieces added to my half sleeve

#the duality of fran #i think perhaps part of the problem is that i have been wanting this for SOOO long #and a combo of anxiety and finances and people pleasing prevented it #so now that ive overcome that intial mental hurdle and am not completely broke #its like. oh??? i have so much power??? #THE ABSOLUTE EUPHORIC RUSH OF MAKING DECISIONS FOR MYSELF FOR ONCE #REGARDLESS OF ANYONE ELSE'S OPINIONS. autonomy is one hell of a drug #anyway. sunflowers for the upper shoulder above my current piece #with more olive branches as connectinf foliage #BC i want it cohesive not patchwork sleeve #just in the sense of the vibe i want. i have nothing against patchwork sleeves i just want the sense of growth #and then on the inner arm. BEE with dandelions. forget me nots. probs some hellebore or elegantine to fill in the larger spaces #maybe lavender or periwinkle as a filler #have a whole list of plants that could be used as connective between the feature pieces #but yeah #bee and sparrow. i adore heavy handed symbolism and nature metaphors
