Simple — yesterday, my long-time dream finally came true: I got the tattoo I’d been waiting for.
I booked the session two months ago, right after my birthday. And though I wanted it so much, I kept it a secret, as if afraid to jinx the idea itself. So many times, I almost got it done, but something always came up, holding me back. Now, after all the waiting, it’s finally happened.
I couldn’t be happier, and I want to thank everyone who contributed and helped make this dream a reality. You made my birthday truly special 🙏🏽🖤
About the Tattoo
It depicts Jorōgumo — a yokai from Japanese mythology. This creature takes the form of a beautiful woman, but her true nature is a giant spider. She uses her beauty to lure men in, only to reveal her terrifying form, weaving webs and trapping her prey. The legend of Jorōgumo is a reminder that appearances can be deceiving; she symbolizes the danger hidden behind charm and beauty.
Originally, I thought of getting a mask of a Buddhist deity — almost all my tattoos have some connection to mythology. The designs on my body reference Greek and Eastern myths, philosophy, and books. But my artist suggested Jorōgumo in a different placement — and I’ve never once regretted it.
So, what do you think? How do you like the result?
