Centipede tattoo hand poked on myself a few weeks ago in ceremony.
Centipedes are liminal creatures and (among other things) represent a connection to the divine. Ubiquitous and existing on nearly every continent, centipede motifs appear in tattooing traditions nearly worldwide.

INK SACRAMENT TATTOO INTENSIVE
Tattooing is one of humanity’s oldest art forms, created by our ancestors on virtually every continent of the world. It has been a sacred art in most cultures, revered for its power to adorn and bless the body, to communicate identity and belonging, to invoke magic and protection, to stimulate healing, and to connect us with our holy powers through the living portal of our skin. Yet the tattoo experience offered in most Western commercial spaces is disconnected from much of this depth and richness.

Imagine a more sacred, connected, and supportive way to receive a tattoo, in the presence of gods and spirits, held by community and blessed with ritual and song. This is the experience that Ink Sacrament will create. In a private micro-farm homestead near the beach in central coastal California, we will gather to create a consecrated space across three nights and days, within which participants can receive a ritual tattoo, with prayer and song, ritual purification, tattooing inside a polytheist temple space, nourishing aftercare, and community connection.

REGISTRATION OPENING FEB 1.

Here's your early save-the-date notice for an exciting thing I'm planning in 2023:
Ink Sacrament
A Ritual Tattoo Intensive
Memorial Day weekend - May 25 - 28, 2023
La Selva Beach, California
This will be a multi-day retreat at a private homestead during which participants can receive a consecrated tattoo within a dedicated ritual space. Space will be quite strictly limited as I can only provide tattoos to a limited number of people within a weekend. I'm deep into planning mode with my co-hosts, and there will be more details to come soon. For now just mark your calendars and stay tuned!

Triskelion with La Tène Celtic ornamentation and a fine knotwork band. A devotional piece for three beloved gods. A joy to work on this piece - thank you for trusting me and for traveling all the way out to California to be tattooed. 🖤
