chicatingThought of it because Attendant N got new body art yesterday(She has a relative that does that.)
Used to use as an LJ icon...feels good to have it back!
I was the first person in a wheelchair my artist ever did(Maybe at the time...my tat could almost drink now...maybe a few have been in now.)
Still, #BarrierBuster!
How about that, I think, that is so cool. I’m like the Judy Heumann of Freakonia. This is like what I hoped for when I was ten and reading about all those trailblazing foremothers. Except for the part where they did stuff, my practical side says.
Maybe I did stuff here today too. I made a permanent, purposeful statement intended to be beautiful on this body that’s an acquired taste.I expanded a few people’s visions of what people in wheelchairs might do on Saturdays, but probably the most important symbol is the design. It’s a big black bird that looks to me like a Phoenix, both the symbol of my hometown and a sign that I’m rising from the ashes better than ever. If you look at it that way, it didn’t hurt a bit.
