Coming Home To Me On the adorable Jente from Belgium, one of the most lovely clients we ever had! Double arm design covering textured scars from badly healed skin grafts. Excerpt from Jente's poignant story below: The scars limit my freedom to be myself in public, they give me a stigma, they're like a symbol of immature coping and constantly remind me of a moment in my life that I want to give a place and let go of. So for me a tattoo of your design is not only an amazing unique aesthetic work on my body but it's like a life changing statement, releasing of the past and choosing for a new direction in my life, celebrating freedom, giving self-trust again, embracing my scars with love and artwork, a reminder of my courage and struggles in a positive way. I'm still searching for my own way now. I need to love myself so I can love someone else without the constant fear of being abandoned. I've difficulties of letting go. I want to come home to myself. And right now every day I try to make that possible. I've the talent and burden to feel a lot. Sometimes it overwhelms me: both the feeling of melancholy and desolate homesickness, and the feeling of gratitude, peace, love and especially freedom. These last feelings I want to anchor as well as the reminder of the ownership of my life and the guts I actually have if I give myself the trust. #alterego #cominghome #storiesonskin #expandedeye
