Male Tattoo Artist Roles in Contemporary Tattoo Culture
Walking into a studio today feels very different from the old days of loud music and tough talk. Modern tattoo shops can be calm, warm and welcoming, and the person guiding you through the whole process is often a male tattoo artist who takes his job very seriously.

The Crossroads of Becoming
I found it by accident. Tucked between a laundromat and a shuttered bookstore, half-hidden by ivy and time, stood a rusted phone booth. Not the sleek glass kind from movies, but an old metal one—peeling paint, cracked receiver, a dial so stiff it groaned when turned. No one had used it in years. Probably decades.

A Modern African Tarot
The fourteenth card in A Modern African Tarot marks a profound turning point. Where XII HANGED MAN invites surrender and new perspective, XIII DEATH brings closure, transformation, and the sacred necessity of letting go. This card reimagines the traditional Death archetype through African mourning rituals, ancestral reverence, and the cyclical nature of life.

Art Isn’t Escape — It’s Translation
People often speak of art as a doorway out—an exit from reality, a refuge from pain, a soft place to land when the world grows loud. They say we read to forget, paint to flee, write to disappear. But the longer I live, the less that idea holds. Art has never taken me away from life. It has taken me deeper into it.

Adjust the Sails
Living creatures mean motivations. When motivations are not met, we feel sad, wounded, frustrated. So, we need a strong mindset. A lot of things are not in our control. But we can decide our responses. It's within our power. It can make significant change in our moods and life journey.

The Bench by the River
Every evening, I walked past the same old bench by the river. Its wood was weathered, gray with age, the paint long gone, and yet it had a quiet dignity that made me pause, if only for a second. I had always been in a rush—rushing home from school, rushing to finish homework, rushing to keep up with life. But that evening, something about the rain, or maybe just my exhaustion, made me stop.

The Day the Silence Learned to Speak
On the edge of a quiet town called Marrowell stood a clock tower that had not spoken in twelve years. People still checked the time by it, of course. The hands moved faithfully, circling the face with stubborn loyalty, but the bell—once the town’s heartbeat—had gone silent after a storm cracked its iron tongue. The mayor promised repairs. The years promised forgetting. And forgetting, as it often does, won.
