I’m not done with my right ankle yet (it’s still very dotty up close), but here are the first two runes I’m doing - wynn and rád. They look uneven in the picture but it’s just because of the way I’m tilting my leg.

OH MY! I have a cutesy rune on my arm that my beautiful friend Phillipa Omega did for me on my arm.

all the tattoos i do on other people turn out so much nicer than the ones i do on myself.

a few days ago i gave my partner lauren her first knuckle tattoos. the tattoos are simple symbols i drew to represent six key principles to writing delivered to the world by italo calvino over a series of six essays. i found the book “six memos for the next millenium” in the trade box at sticky and over winter me and lauren traded it back and forth discussing the qualities: “quickness” “lightness” “multiplicity” consistency” “visibilty” and “exactitude”. it was his last published work, he died before he finished the essay on consistency. it is a beautiful book and more than just ideas on how to write, it is histories of important thought and expression according italo. it works in terms of when thinking: “what way should i livez now?”

the symbols will look as if they are tattooed upside down to you but that is beacuse lauren wanted them to be arranged for her viewing and not the viewing of others.

here is a link to a free version of the book online: http://anemonehaze.com/assets/2008/1/13/interior.pdf

ok so here’s some of the work i am most proud from my tattooing adventures last year, all the designs are mine. all the tattoos here are done on friends, some collaborative and some are drawings i did that they liked enough to want forever! often i am happier with the work done on friends cause they like me and they want my style. i do it stick and poke, i don’t use guns. if you want one and you live in melbourne, write me! - sunsetgradient@gmail.com

this is where you can see alot of my visual art/zines.

Grant does the most amazing intricate delightful tattoos. He’s also so lovely to me every time I see him places. I’m emailing him right away…

Due to weird inexplicable skin rash (not pictured)/Easter break/AZAC Day blahblah festivities I have the week off work. So I can paint my nails. And get a bunch of shit done at home. And finish reading my book. And anything I want.
