 the Moon is a card of genius, of mental breakthroughs, astonishing creativity, powerful magic, and intuition.

"Here are the wild, mean, crazy drunks who produce groundbreaking works with pen or paintbrush. Here are the musicians with wicked mood swings, dark, dark, dark depressions and charming manic modes. These men and women have no inhibitions and don't even try to control themselves in polite society. Their crazy behavior is sometimes inspired, sometimes horribly embarrassing, even unbelievable and often dangerous. But the art, poetry, music they produce....it's magic.

This is also where seers, mediums and holy men/women find themselves after weeks of fasting, prayers and meditation, when they finally have that holy vision. Here is the magical forest in fairy tales, the wasteland in myths where heroes meet with spirits, oracles, sphinxes and their own shadow selves. There is no predicting what will happen when we go to this land in dreams or while hallucinating on mushrooms."

It has healed tremendously well, though the process was a slow and agonizing one (not being able to even shove a spoon in my mouth). The design is entirely custom, and was done by my brother. Check out more of his work here : http://www.tacojoetattoos.blogspot.com/
