#Strength honor conji skin#
She began to sketch and draw right on my skin as we talked about the design.
#Strength honor conji full#
I told her about when and where I was when the idea came to me, and where I am now and how it all came so full circle it has nearly knocked me off me feet! She listened as I explained my first tattoo – a conji symbol for the word “strength” – and how it was always, in my head, a stepping stone towards my phoenix that I would get one day. As she made me kava tea and listened to me I knew there was a genuine care for where I was coming from. The more we talked the more I was happy I was there with Rachel. I got to the cozy little eclectic shop in Wailuku, and we immediately started to talk and get to know each other. My favorite were the watercolor styles and I knew it had to be a special artist to make that right for me. I had an idea of the size I wanted, and I had sent Rachel some pictures of other phoenix tattoos that I had liked. We spoke on the phone to finalize the day of my appointment and even talking to her made me less nervous and more excited. I had gotten a few tattoos, but small and the last one was six years ago. I was so nervous the days up until my appointment. As we spoke at the little, backyard Lahaina party I realized suddenly this was the girl my friend had mentioned months ago. She gets to know you and she wants to know your story.” And of course at that moment, the little girl in my head waved her arms around and shouted, “I have a story!!” And there she was. I said, “Oh! I’ve been looking for a good female artist.” She said, “You must meet Rachel.
As I was speaking to the hostess she mentioned getting a big piece done by a girlfriend of hers. Then several months later I was at a party (that I almost didn’t go to). A close friend of mine knew my thoughts on this and shared he thought there was a woman that I would connect with, mentioned that she was only here part of the year. I wanted someone to know my little tale and care about it like a friend would.
I didn’t really want to wander into a shop and pick a photo off the wall. I’m lucky enough to be on Maui where we have many talented artists, but I knew for this I needed to connect. It was back and the desire to make it a reality was stronger than ever. Just the phoenix….and what it meant to me.Īnd that I really wanted a female artist.įast forward – lots of travels and moves and experiences and 20 years later the phoenix made more sense than ever. It’s had different forms in my head, but I never really decided on an exact drawing. A long drive across the county when I was 19 and a line in a song inspired me and the idea never really faded. I’ve wanted a phoenix tattoo for 20 years. Sometimes things happen in life, or people come your way and then things can just *click* into place.
