I get someone asking about my tattoos almost every day, so I think it’s time to make a post about them. I guess my tattoos are not so straight forward as I think they are, because people seem often really confused about them.
As of now, I only have two tattoos and I definitely want more but I’m not in any hurry.
”I should be in the kitchen”
This is my first tattoo and I think I got it at the end of the summer in 2013, give or take a year, I can never remember years correctly.
The initial idea for this actually came years before when watching some tattoo show on tv and there was a feminist who took the same phrase, accompanied by a pin-up girl in full 50's housewife gear. Obviously she was being ironic, but I’m not.
There are many ways you can look at my tattoo, first being that it is funny in a ”woman, go make me a sandwich” type of way. I always loved those jokes and they were quite popular on the internet at that time. Of course now it isn’t politically correct to joke, about anything.
The second reason for my tattoo is that I’ve always loved cooking, and it has been my profession for about 7 years. I grew up cooking with mom and grandma from a very young age.
That ties in with the third reason which has to do with the way I view the world. Kitchen is the heart of the home and life itself. I may not look it but I have pretty traditional family values, and providing a meal for your family is at it’s core. Think of every gathering or social occasion, they almost always revolve around food, it’s how we connect over a shared meal. And where best to talk about your day than around the kitchen table, if not with your family, then with your friends.
The frame for the text was created by my sister and I love the idea she had to put a little cupcake on it.
”Terra nullius”
I got this tattoo about two and half years ago.
As I have no original ideas, I ripped it from a drawing my sister made. She had a black ink drawing of a naked girl with terra nullius written between her breast and as soon as I saw it, I asked for her permission to use it.
Terra nullius is latin and means no man’s land, or nobody's land, and it is used in a geographical sense.
For me it means that I belong to only me, and I decide what to do with my body and what to show. I think it goes well with what I do here, showing myself half or even fully nude at times.
You may feast your eyes on me, some can even touch, but you can not own me.
Though, I do have to mention that land like Australia was once claimed to be terra nullius, and look what happened there, I might be invaded by Britain also :P
My next tattoo is probably going to be some sort of flowers, I need some girly things on my skin :D
It was the kitchen tattoo that piqued my interest.
I thought, "Hey, there's someone who has a sense of herself to have a double-meaning like that."
There's plenty of uncovered skin on the internet.
There's far fewer that have real skills and humor to match. Its the reason I felt prompted to write things below your photos.
You have substance which provides inspiration.
You get me. Thank you.
I am trying to do nudes in a way that I don't think many people do. I want to add interest and tell a story, create a character, or sometimes, strip away the act.
One of my favs was the series where you displayed a range of emotions in a artful way. (Empty Promises - that shot in particular.)
One Last Performance - Part 1, Part 2
A critique of how you see interactions in real-life or online.
Keep doing you, is all I can say.
Beautiful tattoos on beautiful body!
I do not agree with you about originality of your tattoos. Even if you didn't design yours they still have story and meaning embedded in them, making them originally yours. :)
Nowadays many people ink themselves just to have some tattoo, without any meaning or background story.
Here is one of mine all time favourite tattoo, it is designed from the Stephen King's book The Dark Tower
Cheers! :)
Really nice tattoos that you got! :)
I really like the style of "body art", but you really get addicted :P
I got my last tattoo in November 2017 and I decided to let it grow and in february it will get bigger :D
So, can I get a sandwich or what?
Come and get it! Want beer with that?
Of course!
You're missing a pirate tattoo.
You might be right!

Wow tattoo very interesting
Terra nullius is a badass tattoo! Not gonna lie... I've read it on you before and had to give it a google...
and the kitchen? obviously the best room of the house!
I think so too! :)
Have you gotten rid of the cold yet?
Not quite but I think it's starting to let up. Worst one I've had in years!
Thanks for asking :) Hope you're having a great weeek!
I was shocked when I first saw the "I should be in the kitchen" . Didn't know exactly how to take it until I read through. Good share. Your sister's sense of humor in her drawing is a 100 😂
You are easily shocked ;) glad you got over it :D
Lol 😂
Great reasoning and to finally know the meanings. Yer us Brits have a bad habit of claiming land as ours when we have not right too ooops
I know you’ve been wrapping your brain around this one for months, what a relief it much be to know finally! :D
I know, such a relief, I can finally start enjoying the year! I am complete ;p 💯🐒
Now that I have taken on the role of house-husband maybe I should get a kitchen tattoo. I spend sooo much time in here!
You definitely should, maybe a knife and a spoon :P
Bwahahahahahaha!! That would be awesome!
I agree that it is time for something more delicate, even though the symbolism of those which you already have is pretty neat :) I am a tattoo artist and sometimes post my work here. You may enjoy it :) there are 7 tattoos on my body and you gave me a good idea with this post to give detail about them :)
I enjoy your post
nice tattoos , first one - great idea! ;)
I love doing personal/meaningful tattoos on my clients... because you get to really make something super original. many times my clients have me think waaay outside of the box and have me get really creative and its so rewarding to see them see their Idea come to life! thanks for sharing this! <3
When you have sex with a Brit you will be hahaha :D
Great post and nice to see fellow Finn here. Love that "should be in the kitchen" tattoo in so many ways.
What, who ratted me out!?
:)
