There is always hope. I’ve wanted this word etched into me ever since I nearly died near a year ago. I realized that if you lose hope, you really have lost everything. It’s kinda like that clock that keeps you ticking, keeps you believing that there is something better, something more. Hope for anything. It all starts with hope. It also plays beautifully that my first PACAA was themed Operation: Hope. My ukulele is even named Esperanza, which translates to hope. I really think it’s powerful, and simple. And I am remarkably happy with it.

The picture is a few hours after it was done by Tattoo Marks in State College, PA.

Star Wars Ep. 5 The Empire Strikes Back. Done by Zane Jolley at InkInc in Kingston, New York.

The tattoo is all black and grey, I just greyscaled the picture because it’s still all red and bloody. Dan did an amazing job and I couldn’t be happier! :)

tattooed by adam perjatel @ south shore tattoo, li ny.

this is a tattoo of my cat “Purrcie” who i had for 13 years. She was recently, tragically, killed by a dog. I had her face added to my arm today by Mr Lewis Hess who works at Atlas Tattoo in Portland, OR.

RIP sweet poo, i will miss your biscuits and gravy forever.

It’s not healed all the way but I couldn’t wait to take pictures of it! So here is my anchor tattoo for my dad because he has been my anchor through all the toughest parts of life. I love him so much and this probably won’t be the last tattoo dedicated to him (it certainly isn’t the first!).

This is my spinning wheel tattoo- just got it today. It has multiple symbolism. It represents Sleeping Beauty and Disney as a whole, which has always been something my sister and I have shared our whole lives. My sister is my best friend, and I got this to symbolise our relationship and also her recent marriage. She found her prince charming, and got her fairytale ending. The third reason is to commemorate the end of a bad year and the beginning of a good one. I took a trip with a friend to Disneyland to start a good year, and that’s where this idea came to me.

delacroix:

yourealwaysonthetipofmytongue reminded me to post about this. I sometimes forget that this blog can be a platform for more than just speaking about these issues, but for actual real change.

The Lakota, my people, are trying desperately to raise the funds to buy back the most sacred of places in The Black Hills, Pe’ Sla, before a highway is laid through it. This is incredibly important; the land is our identity, and when it’s gone, we will be too. Last Real Indians is trying very, very hard to raise the money necessary to buy Pe’ Sla back for the Lakota people and insure its conservation for generations to come.

And we only have 25 hours left to raise about $644,000. Every donation helps. You can click here to donate to the fund.

I’ve seen Tumblr come together to build schools in Africa, to save animals and people in need, to help after natural disasters. And I just really, really hope you’ll come together to spread the word and help this time too because this is the cause that’s closest to my heart. Please, at the very least, reblog the hell out of this.
