Filth Is My Life

Tattoo by Heather of Earthship Studios March 2023 in Waterbury, CT

Heather is always the perfect person for weird ideas. I wanted a tattoo of Divine the drag queen as Ursula.

Since Ursula was designed after her it only made sense to honor her memory in the best way possible. Heather beautifully recreated a Disney cartoon and the queen of queens herself to create the tattoo to end all tattoos. If I could explain my gender, my personality, my truest being it would be Divine as Ursula as Divine. The sassy, direct, mischievous and outrageous will always speak to the deepest parts of myself and there is something comforting about looking down at my leg and seeing this being come to life.
