Last week, just days after receiving and reading this, I had a tattoo appointment. I was covering a 20 year old piece done by an ex with a black blob, the same black blobs that I use to cover and beautify mistakes in my journalling process. The black blobs that remind me that everything is a process, that editing is always possible, that all the wrong paths taken before allowed this one to take shape. And while breathing through the pain of the tattoo, I said to myself repeatedly "Every tattoo is a spell. Every tattoo is a spell." (The piece also includes 7 small circles for the 7 traditional planets). Thanks, Emme. This came right on time.
