Warning - Extremely Hot Girls, Guns & Body Art
"As a body of art is a better way of seeing tattooed bodies. Expression is sought by both the living and the dead. One form of existence is as important as another. One form of expression is as important as another to speak for the life needing to tell a story of substance about themselves, who they are, what they perceive and understand. To believe in the permanence of tattoos is the illusion of form. Art changes as well as our bodies changes. When a person ages their form will change and their tattoos take on new life. At this point in time seeing requires other story-songs to become a new form of artistry, or way of expression. This is how the body of art is the art of the body and the soul." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 7.9.13
"Today there is a sense of self-indulgence that engages the ancient art of body tattoos with its contrasts, and lines of definition that creates friction between the depths of ancient symbolism, and immature cries for recognition and validation outside of the structure of initiation. One of the modern approaches to spirituality, to the spiritual core of Earth wisdom is an accumulation of wreckage unable to put itself together to become someone whole! The angst of alienation has long been a part of the hip expression of restless children who became beatniks, and hippies, and revolutionaries, junkies, Gothic chicks, pin up girls with angry glints in their eyes, and men tight with grim realities they come from and cannot help but recreate for others that became popular during the 20th century to the present.
How our children evolve into their sacred, and necessary initiations, and arise into the higher realms of being conscious and a part of the Circles that govern the mysterious outside of the pain of Western angst, and indulgence is yet to be seen en masse. We hold out hope that the arrogance of assumption is seen in its skeleton form and the culture births more people who will be receptive to the teachings of the Old Ones, the Elders Who Know, and in time become whole." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 7.9.13
