I'm going to be 32 in a couple weeks. My life isn't especially glamorous, my two children are enormously awesome dudes, I'm recently divorced, I go to work so I can pay my bills just like the rest of you, I enjoy cuddling with my dog. Sometimes when I feel that SG isn't relative to me I remind myself why I'm here. I have a strong passion for tattoos, for the artists that create them, and the people that love them the way I do. I'm endlessly amazed by the ability, the colors, the depth, the stories.
I joined in 2004 and SG since then have refashioned the site and have expanded into other fun endeavors but the core values stay the same. This community is a group of uniquely beautiful women converging together to show society that people that have tattoos are still people of quality. Believe it or not there are still people that judge you on your appearance and shame on them for doing so.
It bums me out that I've become so inactive on SG, it's taken backseat to family life obviously. I feel my only two sets don't represent me well as a suicide girl. My first was homemade and kinda silly, my bf and I were just screwing around and weren't sure if it would be approved. I didn't really imagine how huge SG would become and I wish we would have, to put it simply, tried a bit harder. My second set was done by a fantastic photographer but I was super nevous and you can clearly see it in all the photos. So much time has passed and I've changed and grown. I've become more comfortable with myself and my social anxiety (which can severely hinder your day to day activities) has mellowed out quite a bit. All this makes me anxious and eager to shoot a third. I'm not positive when I'll be an active member again but I hope it will be worth this seemingly forever long hiatus.
So this ends my thc laced cookie induced rant. I wish everyone a stellar winter holiday and new year. Have fun, party safely, and tell someone you love them.
Xoxo
