I had always known that my first tattoo was going to be a geisha, because I had made a promise with my dad that we’d get matching tattoos. We’re no longer close anymore, but this tattoo represents my pride in being asian and my wish to have a better relationship with my father. I absolutely love Aubrey Kawasaki’s work and am so proud to have her work as a piece of art on my body.
Done by Deran Hall and Golden Spiral Studios, Greensboro, NC.
