I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the bridges I’ve burned and the people I cared deeply for that are no longer in my life. Sometimes I think about you... you know who you are. Grief is the price we pay for love. (Thanks for getting the burning bridge tattoo, Aaron.) #portlandtattoo #blacktattoo #etchingtattoo #nostalgia

Conquest•war•famine•plague. The four horsemen of the apocalypse. It’s feels like it’s about time for them to show up, unless the Book of Revelation is all just written by a human just like you or I and he packed it full of spooky fairytales that are supposed to be be taken literally. I’m probably wrong it’s all real and the end is nigh. The white walkers are coming as well, board up your windows. {thanks @theycallmedonuts } #portlandtattoo #portland #blacktattoo #atheism #nihilism
“…blood-black nothingness began to spin / A system of cells interlinked within / Cells interlinked within cells interlinked / Within one stem. And dreadfully distinct / Against the dark, a tall white fountain played.” #portlandtattoo #blacktattoo #alchemy #mysticism #wefuckwithdeath

On March 4th our little lady, Adoline died {at 17 years old}. We figured out that this was exactly 4 years to the day after a major surgery she almost died from. It is a strange synchronicity that is difficult for me to understand. @lauragrahamma and I got exactly 4 years more time to enjoy the magical creature that she was, she exuded a warmth, love, and caring that was beyond anything I’ve experienced in my life. I believe she was possibly fae folk, I believe she saved my life more than once. I am more than heart broken. I spent so many years with her and she made life immeasurably better. We miss her so much, and with every passing day the pain becomes more pointed and sharp. I’m thankful I got to spend so many years and so much love with her but there will never be another Adoline and without exaggeration I will be broken hearted for the rest of my days. I wanted to share some photos of her, she was magic. (I have taken some time off work for my mental health, I will respond to emails soon... thank you for your patience.)
Some people have pretty things in their heads... that must be nice. #portlandtattoo #prettythings
