Korrin McPherson

The girl with no arms

Welcome! Let me tell you a bit about myself, first off Hi my name is Korrin. It's not pronounced the way it's spelt, I have close friends who still mess up saying it correctly it's kinda funny. So just skip over the name because it doesn't really matter anyways. My hair color and my style is constantly changing, as you can see I have an addiction to getting ink! In total I have 25 pieces on my body and each tell their own little story. My favorite times to get ink done is when my heart hurts and is shattered into a zillion tiny pieces. If I'm too feel pain I better damn well get something good out of it wouldn't you agree? Sadly my entire life has been so full of pain, I just try to block my trauma out. It doesn't work. So can you take a wild guess what age I was when I got my first tatty? 13... Can you possibly try to guess what the hell I decided to get? A friggin pot leaf....oops!!! So until I was 18 years old and could find someone to cover it up....I was known as the girl with the pot leaf on her back. Honestly there where so many times I completely forgot I had it there...until I would get some pretty judgemental stares. When I went into the foster system for the last time at age 13 I turned into this wild child. Surprisingly it honestly saved my life, and they let me express myself freely to a point. They let me color my hair, and let me play with makeup (remember those mask days? HAHA) Though I thought I was going to be planning my own funeral once I went home and they discovered what stupid thing I had done. At the end of the day I finally got it covered with a rose and tribal art. I can still see hints of that darn leaf as the red ink fades over the years, but it's a reminder of my past so I've learnt to accept it. Now to explain my favorite piece and how the girl on my arm is.... you guessed it...me!
