Ritual Tattoo
Tattooing to me is a sacred act of inscribing images on the skin marking lessons, healings, visions, protection, and so on. This is an ancestral ritual that spans cross-culturally that honors the power of magick we all embody by just being alive- breathing.
A ritual session can be done in several ways depending on the client. Before the tattoo session, we can meet up and discuss presently what is alive for the individual. We will then enter into a session of meditation together where I may use tea, sound and/ or scent to call in protective energies and to ground us in the present moment. This meditation is guided by words, which is something I was given permission to do through my teacher in the Buddhist Theravada lineage.
After this session we will discuss if anything came up visually for myself or the client, what areas of the body are calling for these markings, and an image is conjured from there.
