Steady progress has continued now that I've recovered
The interior of the body sections will be completed in a few weeks
.
Having a hard time getting a photo that captures the straightness of the body sections, since the upper four sections are healing and slightly scabbed they don't bend perfectly with the skin. One thing I need to work on is taking better photos of my work

Two additional body sections and several additional legs added (outline of a total of four body sections has been completed).
.
Intentionally stretching this transformative piece out over several days, coinciding with personal work, ceremony, and prayer.
.
There will be 7 body sections in all, and each will eventually house contents according to its individual significance.

The first two segments: freehand hand-poked centipede.
.
Liminal creatures, centipedes represent a connection with the divine, among other things.
.
In my case, segments and embellishments have been earned according to specific spiritual and tangible achievements. I'll be adding more today.
All in preparation for a healing ceremony for a dear friend, soon.

Realizing that Green Soap is castille soap with alcohol (30% before dilution) and lavender oil

You could make that (safely), and improve on it by adding witch hazel, creosote tincture, or clove oil(?) perhaps, as astringents and/or analgesics, or other safe compounds to produce a desired effect (and removing the lavender or leaving it depending on how overwhelming the end result would be)

Sharing that my other book came despite the fact I've posted and been on here entirely too much lately

Triskelion with La Tène Celtic ornamentation and a fine knotwork band. A devotional piece for three beloved gods. A joy to work on this piece - thank you for trusting me and for traveling all the way out to California to be tattooed. 🖤

Devotional tattoo for the goddess of battle, done in a graphic blackwork style with pops of blood red. So much fun to ink this piece!
Made with joy at Ritual Tattoo in Berkeley.
