Bio
I like to think of myself as an alien wherever I am but I do not think ETs are what the masses say they are. Perhaps a story on that topic. I am an artist first and foremost, not completely human but entirely loving. Lover, working on it...

Tattoo as a Ceremony
Travelling on a flat plane can be disorientating, but travelling across a globe even more confusing, wouldn't you think? Anyhow, this is not the debate, the monologue here is about an argument I constantly and internally had when my dear birth mother commented to her margaritanese girlfriends, when I was at times invited to their Ubuntu inspired meet-ups, or community money-pool gatherings (I don't know how else to translate them from Indonesian), that -as proud a mother as she is, to her I am an attention-seeker. Although that is true (was mostly true at the time), a tattoo to me now is more than transforming my body into a canvas, rather, it is a ceremony.
