Dragonflies are reminders that we are light and we can reflect light in powerful ways if we choose to do so.

Makayla is a true gem…she’s this nugget of pure joy and kindness. The universe kind of made this happen. I was scrolling instagram when someone shared Makayla’s recent flash sheet and I instantly wanted her dragon flies and cat skull.

I had been wanting dragonflies on my shoulders for a while. I wanted a reminder that the power to do good is within me and reset on my shoulders, not as a weight, as delicate, beautiful and powerful as a dragonfly.

Makayla was kind and affirming from the first text to the last tattooed line and gave me these beautiful glitter dragon flies.

The cat skull was just cool and my love for my cats (as some of you know) is this endless and fierce love that I hold deeply. My cats have been with me throughout all my gender affirmation procedures, all my chronic illness issues, they have been constant and loving and so very annoying (as most cats are). So this is for them…together forever.
