I have always been and done these things. The last few months have been incredible for me! I have always been the memory for my family, one can always count on me to remember most details. So, this next statement is a strange one to type: recently, I have had the veil of my life removed and I have been able to glance and understand my life in ways I never imagined I could... The big shocker for me was how much of my life from about 11-22 I blocked out because it was too painful and shameful. More on this in other posts.....
Well, I shared the Butterfly Fleet video with my aunt and she asked me many questions about my art, tattoos as being my armor I have put on myself, makeup and drag. I appreciated that she had taken the time to ask me these questions which brought me to a deeper place of thought about myself. I responded and she felt I should share what I had written her with you on this blog. So..... Here we go:
Your questions are thoughts that I have continually. For this video, I wanted the brightness of the drag to counter the simplicity of my look. And it is designed to make one ponder... Which is the armor, is it something visible or is it soul felt?
I never know how the makeup will look when I start. I prefer the red lips for film because the softer pinks tend to wash me out and I love the drama and passion of red lips.
The tattoos... My journey is this:
Each one has been an aspect of my unfolding, my discovery of my journey, trials, joys and spirit. I never intended to be a tattooed man, but it has happened. The most important aspect of my relationship with my tattoo art is that it has provided me with the tools to see beyond the shame of my life and disgust of my physical appearance I have harbored for so long . I can look at myself with joy now.
Also, I like how it ripples the world around me. I am a kind, generous, loving, honest, hardworking man and when people see tattoos there is a different list of adjectives that run through ones mind. I find that it helps to break down barriers in ways I couldn't imagine and I love when people ask me about them and I tell the story of the particular tattoo in question and the understanding shared is glorious.
I've spent my life trying to make people happy and apologizing for every step. I have found my soul beat and I follow its tune down my path of light and love... The tattoos help me tell my story:)
Does any of this make sense?
Thank you for asking the questions so that I could find the words to express how I feel.
