Today Momma Darlo showed her awesome side by getting a tattoo. Will this be the first of many? Only time will tell ... or I guess I could just ask her.

The 2025 20-25 Challenge.

This year let’s get better at something by finding a little practice time most days, in my case drawing. - Do your activity for at least 25 minutes, at least 25 days per month.
- Use the hashtag #20252025Challenge on social media etc to track your progress
- Also use the hashtag to cheer on others.

That’s about it!

Have fun with your activities, whatever they may be!

Drawing, programming, dancing, cooking, make up, reading, languages, gardening, mastering high fives, sewing, astrophysics, vcr clock setting ...

Got my first ink today as an early birthday present to myself! Claiming my name beyond the id docs. Thanks to the amazing Sam Mcfarland, artist and owner of Painted Monkey Tattoo for helping make the whole experience amazing! Thanks also to my wife for moral support and photos! #livingmybestlife #firsttattoo #existenceisresistance #transgenderwoman

It's been at the back of my mind for so long, but I finally took the plunge and got my first tattoo. One that encapsulates me so well. #IronMaiden #Eddie #UpTheIrons #Trans #TransPride #Tattoos #Tattoo #transrights #gettingInkdone #firstTattoo

Getting Ink done: The first tattoo was a long time coming - Narrative Curiosity

After nearly 20 years of contemplation, I finally got my first tattoo, motivated by my journey of self-acceptance and embracing my interests. Especially, my love for Iron Maiden’s "The Trooper" and my Pride as a transwoman. Read more about my design and my experience.

Narrative Curiosity - Explore the divine power of words
Kiki Smith, Tattoo Print, 1995. Smith’s work has been a lifelong influence on my visual work, jewellery design as well as my writing. I love this print of tattoo ‘flash’—with all its vulvamorphia and decorative motifs. Among the ubiquitous ‘first tattoo’ of butterflies there’s a ghostly (self)portrait, tendons, a tailbone and a scrotum. #KikiSmith #inspiration #tattoo #TattooFlash #feministArt #WomenArtists #Printmaking #art #doodle #FirstTattoo

I got my first #tattoo!
It's the #phonetic #transcription of *how* my #toddler said *his* #firstWord.

So, I did a thing yesterday. I wanted this tattoo to celebrate some of who Michael was, rather than defining him by his death. He always wore a bandana (usually black). He 3D printed a bunch of these little hanging guys (also sitting/standing) and put them all over the school. He was LGBTQ+ but ever so much more than a label. He was colorful despite his love of black, and stories his friends, classmates and teachers told showed him to be even kinder than I knew. #firsttattoo #forever17

So I thought one of the hardest aspects of planning my #FirstTattoo in my late 30s would be finding someone who does art in a style to match what I want. Turns out it's actually trying to navigate the long wait times for the artists I'm interested in.

Like I started researching a month before I planned on getting it and everyone's booking 3-6 months in the future. I wanted to do it for my birthday 😢

Taken care having before doing a first tattoo
Before effectuating his first tattoo it is important to have in counts some important aspects, such as:

 
# do not be deceived, hurt yes!
Is it a totally bearable pain, opposite case more nobody would return to do it, right? Go for his session quite relaxed, after a good night of sleep, well fed and drink enough water before going.
