myerman@turtleisland<p>An update on forearm tattoo design. I thought about the tattoo artist’s remark that it looked like a knife so I took another shot and made that shape more explicit. The three line mark along the blade can be blood. I put in the Cayuga word for “sharp” on the handle as a bit of callout to when my ancestor, who survived the residential school system, later in life carved sharp knife onto his carpenters toolbox. His own little bit of resistance. <a href="https://turtleisland.social/tags/nativeart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nativeart</span></a> <a href="https://turtleisland.social/tags/tattoo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tattoo</span></a></p>
