AMSTERDAM TATTOO CONVENTION 2022 #2
This project is directly connected to Faccio Facce, but pushed into a larger, more physical dimension.
2022 was a horrible year, so much happened: love, laughter, death. So yeah, the Amsterdam Tattoo Convention was the start of my travel plans for that year, and it did not go how I planned. I was too late to book a spot. Then when I did get a spot, I lost like three buses and a flight just to get there. When I finally reached it, I was heartbroken and I had forgotten most of my equipment there. Crazy.
The second day I did not feel any better. I was still in pieces because what I thought was the love of my life had left. I said that all of that was because I was indulging in pleasure too much and therefore not loving myself, so I decided to spiritually marry myself and commit for the future years to actually take better care of myself and to bring to life all my ideas and live a life supported by my values, which, spoiler alert, took more than one year. 2023/2024 was a transformative period of spiritual growth and maturity in all fields.
But getting back to the second day, I tattooed an old client of mine, since I often participate in the Amsterdam Tattoo Convention. Then I did a hand poke on my finger of love, the runes for man and woman, the couple, the entirety, meaning that I did not need a second person to feel complete, but that I was indeed one.
Oh, and by the way, I did not talk for the whole tattoo convention.
