Stay Wild

Tattoo by Sabrina at Integrity Ink in Wallingford, CT November 2023

After getting my first belly heart tattoo I knew I needed another one to balance it out. Stay weird felt so like me that I wanted something that equally had the same message. Stay wild popped into my head and it just felt right. I can never not be weird and by virtue of that I can never not be wild.

Wild reminds me of feeling free, of brae feet on moss in the woods before other are awake, of seeing the neighborhood fox and being unafraid and instead honoring that we share the same space and most of all, the feeling of wind in my hair, rain drops on my skin and being unafraid to stand outside in a storm and look up at the sky.
