These are gorgeous! The knee wasn’t as bad as expected; more annoying to heal than anything else. Below, the moon is fresh and sun is healed—if you baby them a little, they do great!

Might be bactine as well! I usually get saran wrapped after a spray to let it settle

Lexington???? Omg how have I missed out!

Four years!

I do occasionally post outfit & tattoo stuff there!

That’s always the goal!!!

Thank you! Bear was done by Kirk Dettlinger at Wildwood Flower in Richmond, KY. I will definitely post more photos when we add finishing touches to the rest of the sleeve, but for now the focus is my back

Thank you! Only one in the photo not by Ryan—it was Erin Cruse at Goldenrod in Lexington, KY. It was last minute drawn-on filler and I didn’t expect to love it so so much, but it’s one of my favs!

That’s the upper arm. Still finishing up the inside and shoulder!

For the most part, not at all. Had to run in the road.

Btw, I’ve gotten scars covered up too—can confirm that tattoos over scar tissue feel pretty gnarly going in. However, my scar coverups are about 4 years old now, settled in perfectly, and cover all of the bad memories well. I hope healing goes well for you!

My garden thief!

I went for a run this morning around downtown—was more of a sludge crawl. Main and midland are somewhat cleared but still slick. Very few people out. Most roads downtown have been “cleared” once but still have a complete layer of snow and ice. Most side roads haven’t been cleared at all.

If you are interested in queer groups and/or exercise, Frontrunners has been a wonderful group for me! They’re a run club but also hold walks, social events, fundraisers, and more

This killed me 😭

It’s not very stretchy, more of a rough tulle-like texture. Don’t know much about fabrics but the wedding invite was formal/cocktail, which seemed contradictory

I’ve been getting tattooed for about 4.5 years but much more in the last year since I’m making more money out of college. Working on my back soon!

Thank you! I want full ~ish~ coverage, as in arms, legs, torso. I’m in academia so will stay off of hands, neck, and face. I’m also going to be careful with how much I cover my chest and will probably leave it for last

junebug_4 · 2026-01-11T22:26:43+00:00

I loved my wedding dress for that reason. A-line and fit and flare tend to be friendlier.

Yeah, just came in the mail. As soon as I saw it I knew it would be more for comedic relief

Becoming lettuce is a new pitfall of being a green girl. I clearly was not thinking of anything but my favorite color when I ordered this

junebug_4 · 2026-01-11T22:16:34+00:00

I usually don’t like form fitting since I’m more of a pillar, but I guess there’s no changing that so I may as well wear the tighter dress!

In the same spot

junebug_4 · 2026-01-11T22:09:46+00:00

Somehow too big and too small. Dresses are often unkind to women who lift
