Hearts never heal in a straight line. It is a picture of Kiki from the movie “Kiki’s Delivery Service.” One of my best friends passed away last year. We would see all the Studio Ghibli movies together. Her favorite one was Kiki’s Delivery Service. She was exactly like Kiki. I got this to remember her.

This dragon is from an anime called Dragon Ball Z. Its name is Shenron. The idea I have behind this is Shenron grants wishes. I have myself on the little nimbus cloud. I have Shenron granting wishes, and I am along for the ride. I want to be a person in people’s lives around me where I grant their wishes, so they don’t have to worry about that type of stuff.

I am an artist. I designed this myself. If I have any art on myself, I want it to be my own. I also want it to be unique and significant to me. This is so that every time I look at a piece on my body, I know I designed it.
