The Final Tattoo Before The Apocalypse....End Of Part I
Tattoo by Sarah at Silence is Golden Gallery, March 2020
You might notice this tattoo from a previous post. Sarah had started this gorgeous lady a little bit ago and before this COVID-19 Pandemic shut down all of our state Sarah was able to finish this wonderful tattoo.
It was with a heavy heavy heart that this tattoo got finished. Knowing that Sarah, all her shop colleagues, all my tattoo artists that I've met, all working artists, all my working artists and tattoo artist friends, are out of work. All of these small businesses, all 1099/private contracted workers cannot collect unemployment. It hurts my heart, it feel like such a big burden, and I can't even imagine what it's like for all these amazing women who have touched my life, given my wearable art, held space for my story.
This tattoo started as a beautiful modernized version of The Birth Of Venus, a symbol of female sexuality, beauty and creation. What has turned into is a beautiful reminder of all the strong women I've met along the way, the ones I've created deeper relationships with and the ones yet to come.
If you're reading this now is the time to buy art from tattoo artists, buy gift certificates, book appts for the summer, buy their shop swag. Help keeps them going!
