    I got my first tattoo just a few months ago. I got a second shortly after. I never thought of it as reclamation of my body, but I really like that thought. Purposefully defying cultural norms on beauty is a wonderful way to frame things. To me, it was mostly an act of empowerment- I specifically chose artists that were queer, as a means to help in some small way to support their lifestyle and choice of job. To help them continue to create wonderful art in the world. I provided both of them very little direction on the art itself, and I love the results it brought.
