An Arm & A Leg???

Ooooh, (feminine squeaks & squeals) we had a great five minute photo session in town with Amy, showing my newest latest arm AND LEG designs for shamanic healers, but we only took snappers of the arms.

I’ll be doing lots of photos of my temp tats and body art as we go through the next season. Amy is a tattoo designer of note, and I hope to be able to work with her on my shamanic transfer tats, something I’ve been working on for the past seven years, but now, it’s the right time.

See, on the other side of the Shift, you didn’t see tattoos on virtually everyone you saw on the street, right? And now you do. Another sign of the Shift, but we tend to discredit our memories as soon as we pass, whether it’s a Shift or Death & Transfiguration.

My designs were in use some 40,000 years ago, and I’ll try to find my work, but it’ll be mostly on mummies, so brace yourself for some grisly photos. I tell ya, she meant nothin’ to me… (hint: reference is Michael Keaton film)…

I hear that Hoodoo is offering to help folks get over their unfortunate tattoo choices, but it really isn’t necessary. I tried to tell ya — folks who wanted to look daring, courageous, forward-thinking and avante-garde and sexy and whory and wild and silly and dangerous all got plastered by the truck that rolled through and gave everyone tattoos just exactly like the formerly unique ones they got years ago.

Where there are points in every direction, there’s no point at all.

So with everyone wearing tattoos, the ones you might regret sporting, such as the dreaded Tramp Stamp, or “target”, is sort of mashed in with all the other tribal tats and stuff that are being dumped wholesale onto the market, and you’re no longer likely to cause comment, even with the lowest and sleaziest of low-life tats.

Hey, we all were 16 years old once upon a time, and we all had that teen hubris that wears off only after a world of pain, and most 60 year olds with tattoos regret having gotten them, at least the womenfolk.

Men? Hey, girls, we can dress them up, but we can’t take them anywhere.

What I meant, of course, is that there are now 31 street-front tattoo parlors in town, and dozens of private ateliers in both towns, and a month ago, before the Shift, there just weren’t. In Auburn there are more than 50 with street-frontage shops. Inking Up is big, really big, really, really big, on this side of the Shift, and spotting that sign helps me to place us, where we landed, more or less.

We’re not too far from our indicated Jump Zone.

Take it as one of many signs & portents, but do pay attention to what it really means. Tattoos become fashionable at only one kind of historical juncture, and I don’t have to tell you what’s coming — any sci-fi writer worth his weight in potassium salt knows what’s likely to happen next, and we’re not any of us going to like it.

But that’s exactly the purpose of the daily didge healing. It’s not body healing, it’s every kind of healing needed on every level, including planetary and higher, and I’m just the girl that can do it, too, with a little help from my friends and yes, that’s the Quantum Witch on Amy, and it has been doing a helluva good job to help her keep her life on course.

I’ll keep you posted on developments; the tats and body art are destined to become part of our healing circle work, and I’ll use them as targets, all right — targets for healing. We are going to knock the socks off you with what we’re coming up with, just hold onto your hats!

What I mean, girls, is, of course — “hold onto your tats”. And I hope you’ve gone into my “tit for tat” shop in the Ashram. I’ve got some very magical tats there for sale, and you can only buy them from me in-Ashram, they’re not and won’t be put on the marketplace.

Magickal Tattoos is where it’s it. Forget mating, dating and skating tat art. And when it’s switchable, it works for every occasion — did I mention that I don’t only plan weddings, funerals and graduations — that I also happen to be a Divorce Planner???

Ask about my Budget Divorces and Burials.

See You At The Top!!!
