87 Ink

introduction

my name is phoenix, he/they/it, and i'm a queer, disabled artist based in milwaukee, wisconsin. i've been an artist in different forms all my life, but at this time i am a tattoo artist in the riverwest area. i'm a transmasc butch, poly, and i've been on testosterone for four years (i'm always open to answering questions about my transition and my gender expression <3) as of november, i am 27 years old.

be the change you wanna see

the internet sucks right now; not as much at fault from the people on it, but moreso the companiess that run the media and the bots and ai slop polluting our feeds. i miss personality. i miss having my little blog that i could just write on and copy and paste blinkies and stamps to without having to worry about the marketability of it all. there is a shift towards this nostaligic, old-school internet experience, and i wanna join in. im still trying to flesh everything out right now. its incredibly fun. i want to be able to put artist statements, photo archives, litterally whatever i want.
