The Word Made Flesh
fuckyeahtattoos: This line comes from a poem written by Denis McMahon. He encouraged me to pursue writing & for that I am forever grateful. But most importantly his poems inspire me and leave me feeling like I am floating. This one in particular captured an attitude to life that I so strongly identify with. “my sugargirl angeldances on the beach in winterhiking her skirtat the air she whisperstake me you beautiful paddlepopbefore the moon melts”  Wearing this line on my arm helps me to find that feeling each time I look at it. It reminds me to be free, excited & romantic. It also reminds me that we have only one life & will spend a long time dead; it reminds me that life is now. The lettering is from my typewriter. I typed it out & then enlarged it. My typewriter was a gift from a dear friend of mine who also inspires me continually. And I use this typewriter always when I am writing, or when I am creating copies of my favourite poems or quotes. Some of my fondest moments of inspiration are associated with that typewriter. It was my best friend who suggested that I use that font so it also makes me think of her. I adore this tattoo. It was done by Unique Tattoos in Subiaco, Western Australia. They are absolutely amazing! Their work is flawless. Unfortunately I’m not sure of my tattooist’s name but I think it was Lauren. Look how perfect the lettering is! It looks even better now that’s healed. This photo is from the day I had it done. It was my first tattoo.

“my sugargirl angel
dances on the beach in winter

hiking her skirt
at the air she whispers

take me you beautiful paddlepop
before the moon melts”
