<!--more-->

## 2023: lelenyx
Lelenyx did a guest in Montreal, in Nov. 2023. i went to see her, and she did my
first tattoo. I really wanted one, and it kinda is to me a new look on my new
life. My parent never wanted me to have tattoos (or be trans for that matter). i
really wanted to reclaim my body and decorate it how i want.

i feel like you can always find a meaning with tattoos. So i wont really give
into it ("a new look on a life" nah who am i kidding it just looked really
cool). i choose Lelenyx since i really loved her work, especially her eyes.
i just asked her to add a flower (a violet xd) on the outline of the pupil.

Though it has not healed the best and now has some cracks, imma keep it that
way. i really want it to age with me, since its my first. im probably gonna fix
the other if they have similar defects!

## 2025: alice gateau
i took a few weeks to visit friends and family (esp. friends!) and took a detour
to Paris to visit her. i really love her cartoonish, childish style and really wanted to have
something by her. She does a lot of childhood related drawings, so i wanted to
have my childhood snacks!

also, while im at it why not pick another one?

The ears of the bunny ar colored in pink, and the whale has a rainbow hatching on its stomach. The rabbit has a fishing cane with a carrot on it, and the whale is looking at it with a big heartwarming smile.")

> [!ABSTRACT]
> Alice also took on her to shelter me for a couple of days. She also provided me with food that would otherwise have
> gone to waste. It was such a lovely conclusion to my trip. Thank you for
> everything, alice! :D

> [!WARNING] arriving on time
> i first put the wrong address on google maps, so i arrived in another city,
> and thus finally arrived about an hour late. Since alice couldnt do both of
> those tattoos the same day, she proposed to do one then continue the next day,
> invited me to sleep over for another day. she just is the sweetest omg

## more (my)s(t)erious stuff
i just realised those 3 tattoos are on the exact 3 spots i used to scarify. It
was not on purpose. its kinda weird i chose them unconsciously, but whatevs, now i
cant use them anymore (and havent self harmed (at least in that way) for a
while) :D
