Flower and Crystal Chest Piece
My chest piece is a large piece that I began a bit over a year after top surgery with the primary intent to mask my top surgery scars. It has become a huge part of my body, physically and emotionally, and has been something that has greatly increased my body confidence. I got my chest piece from Nour from Second Skin, who I specifically chose as a colorful and queer/trans artist themselves. We started the piece when they were still an apprentice, so a big part of the tattoo felt like a joint growth experience between myself and the artist. I love the way it has turned out and gives me something that I'm proud of and want to show off more on my chest, an area of my body that caused me such pain for so many years.
