SESSION #1

29th of August 2012 (Exactly 7 months after my b-day/ there’s that 7 again

Full-sleeve in progress.

The process of getting my sleeve tattooed, has been one of the most exhilarating ones in my existence to date.

A wish that was born out of the necessity for being myself was finally being fulfilled and i could not have been more ready than that moment, sitting in that chair and hearing the first few buzzes of that gun.

The amazing artist behind all this craziness is Ruben Hail and all of it is taking place at Byron’s Tattoos on the island of Curacao.

They say that it takes courage to go for a whole sleeve at once; I say it just takes sheer genius. And well ok maybe some big ass balls to the ball-less.

Session #2 is on the 12th of September. I-CAN-NOT-WAIT!!!

Design : Feathered Serpent aka Quetzalcoatl to the Aztecs and the Mayans (a flying reptile, much like a dragon))

Meaning:

A boundary maker (and transgressor) between earth and sky. He was also a creator deity having contributed essentially to the creation of Mankind. He also had anthropomorphic forms, for example in his aspects as the wind god. Among the Aztecs the name Quetzalcoatl was also a priestly title, as the most two important priests of the Aztec main temple. In the Aztec ritual calendar, different deities were associated with the cycle of year names: Quetzalcoatl was tied to the year Ce Acatl (One Reed), which correlates to the year 1519 (7!!!)

I’ll explain a bit more about my reasons for a full sleeve the design and my beautiful ass in a later post. If you can’t wait and you already have some questions…

To whom it may concern:

All American Bombshell: United States Marine Corps Combat veteran. CH-53D Helicopter Door-gunner armed with a voracious attitude and a tenacious drive. Hoping to take the Alternative-modeling world by storm with tactless charm and creative ambition. Muscle Cars, motorcycles, guns, physical fitness and art hint at only a fraction of what I am about. I believe there is expressive room for innovative spirits in the corporate spectrum of conformity. People who put the effort into portraying who they are not just through they’re actions but via the heart of the ink on their skin have, in my opinion a very sacred and unique classification of beauty.

I have attempted to convey one common theme in the variety of photos I have submitted: American Pride and freedom of expression. At the conclusion of my enlistment as a United States Marine I feel the time has come to rejoice in the honor of having served my country during its time in need. I aspire to bring light to the feminine and determined woman who has breached the surface of what it takes to be tough and beautiful. I can avidly say from personal experience from flying with Naval Aviation that sky’s the limit for me. I feel compelled to gain a deeper understanding of the power of art and to close the aperture of classic and modern beauty.

Thank you for your consideration and support.

Little do they realize what greatness they have been held captive in.

Who can slay the immortal spirit?

Who abandons all desires and lives and acts free from longing, who has no “I” or “mine”?

That (higher being) which is to all creatures a night, is to the self-mastering sage her waking (her luminous day of true being, knowledge and power); the life of the dualities which is to them their waking (their day, their consciousness, their bright condition of activity) is a night (a troubled sleep and darkness of the soul) to the sage who sees.

This is not born, nor does it die, nor is it a thing that comes into being once and passing away will never come into being again. It is unborn, ancient, sempiternal; it is not slain with the slaying of the body.

I will not fight.

Therefore arise, get thee glory, conquer thy enemies and enjoy an opulent kingdom.

Unattached to those actions, she is equal-visioned everywhere.

On this path no effort is lost, no obstacle prevails; even a little of this, delivers from the great fear.

This word of the highest spiritual secret of existence. Thou hast spoken out of compassion for me, for us; by this my delusion is dispelled.
