I love it when I realize that I’m handling a situation better than my old self would have.

May not look like much, but that right there is a successful Brummel splice … my first.

… and now that you mention it: no I am decidedly *not* taking time out of my workday to play with winch extensions. Why do you ask??

I want to share something meaningful with you all. Tumblr has been more than just a website for me—it's been a sanctuary, a place where I found solace amidst the turmoil. In those days, I'd lose myself in tattoo pictures, punk designs, and gothic aesthetics. It was my escape, especially during the darkest times when I was enduring abuse at home as a child.

Now, a decade later, I've come a long way. Despite the hardships, I've found my passion in tattooing. It's been a journey marked by struggles, but also by the support of my amazing girlfriend—who embodies the beauty and strength of the gothic Tumblr girls I admired back then.

I want to reach out to the world and to my younger self, the sixteen-year-old who made promises to herself amidst the chaos. I want her to know that I'm fulfilling those promises now. And as I find myself back on Tumblr, I want to showcase my work to the world and to that younger version of me, to make her proud of who I've become.

I've left my Instagram handle here for anyone interested in checking out my work and spreading some love. Thank you all for your support!

Reflecting on this year, I’m filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and pride. This year has been a tapestry of remarkable experiences, pushing the boundaries of my comfort zone and reshaping my life in profound ways.

My journey through the United States for three months was nothing short of transformative. It wasn’t just about exploring new landscapes or savoring diverse cultures; it was a voyage that sculpted my perspective and opened my eyes to the vastness of the world.

Returning home to Italy marked the beginning of a new chapter—a life change that I embraced wholeheartedly. Amidst the familiar streets and beloved traditions, I found the courage to challenge myself, breaking free from the confines of routine and embracing change with open arms.

Amidst this whirlwind, I’ve achieved milestones that once seemed distant. From personal growth to professional accomplishments, each success stands as a testament to my resilience and unwavering dedication.

This year has been a mosaic of lessons, teaching me the beauty of embracing change and the richness of new experiences. It’s a celebration of resilience, adaptability, and the sheer joy of conquering challenges.

So, let’s raise a toast to the journey, the learnings, and the accomplishments. Let’s honor the courage it took to step into the unknown and the determination that fueled our successes. And may this year’s triumphs be the stepping stones to a future filled with even more remarkable achievements.

Thank you 2023 💙

Just had the BEST diabetic review. I’m so so happy 😀 my HBA1C level is at its lowest and nearly in range and I’ve even lost more weight! I don’t normally talk about it but I’m so proud of myself and I wanna remember this exact feeling 🤍🩸😊 #diabetes #type2diabetes #diabetic #type2 #proudofmyself #happy #weightloss #motheranddaughter #goodnews https://www.instagram.com/p/CqDsaRVIxE4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Not one or two, but THREE YEARS clean and serene. The last three years I have made the conscious decision not to pick up a drink or a drug and I am beyond proud of myself for making it this far. Staying sober has not been an easy challenge, but like everyone says "it works if you work it" and I "keep coming back" because I want to reach many more milestones. This past year, alone, I have endured many obstacles to get rid of all my legal issues and am happy to say I get to start back off with a clean slate. Also, I have been working with the same company (Evolutions Treatment Center) since March of 2022 and have had the pleasure of helping many other drug addicts and alcoholics along the way. Thus far in life I believe my sobriety is my number one achievement and my biggest goal. #ThreeYearsSober #3YearsSober #CleanAndSerene #Milestone #ProudOfMyself #JustForToday #OneDayAtATime #Sobriety #RecoveryIsPossible https://www.instagram.com/p/Co_DdLXDfTU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have gone through stages with my younger self. For the longest time, even recently, I’d look back and feel ashamed of her. I wish she had handled things differently. I wish she’d had more of a backbone. I wish she could have seen her worth. I just wish she had different, but now I know that she did the best she could and she is the reason I am here now. So, thank you, younger me. I wouldn’t have made it without you. I wouldn’t have learned all that I’ve learned had you done anything differently. You carried me through our darkest times and now I’m going to show you it was all worth it. I’m going to do my best to make sure we are never ashamed of us again. _________________________________________ Side note: This is why we don’t let people steal our energy and disturb our peace anymore.

My prep so far…

I’m not going to sit here and say I’m not conscious of body image because you kind of have to when you’re going to be on stage in a bikini, which is why I had to be in a really good place mentally and have a good relationship with food and training before I decided to do these shows.

I recognised last year that I wasn’t in the right place mentally.

It’s a rollercoaster of emotions and changes.

You need to be prepared for other people’s opinions, body changes, giving up on some aspects of socials, self doubt…and buying a new wardrobe cuz nothing bloody fits haha

I wanted to do this for me, to push myself to the extreme and see what I can achieve mentally and physically….but you know what, I am enjoying every single part of it the highs and the lows!

Luckily my prep has been fairly straight forward so I’ve definitely had far more highs than lows.

I’ve met such supportive people on my journey so far who message me and come up and speak to me with words of encouragement.

So thank you 🙏🏼

Also a massive thank you to my coach @guycharding 🙌🏼

I’m so bloody proud of myself!

BRING ON THE SHOWS!!

We had a food truck at work today, and it is one of my favorite food trucks as a fatty!!! I behaved, I didn't cave, and just kept drinking my coffee and water!!! #ProudOfMyself

[spill-to-t]

The first one that didn´t take an hour to make...#proudofmyself (Sorry if sound is bad... luckily you couldn´t hear the birds outside *-*)

What I wanted to get... I wanted it to sound elegant, but also sneaky and unpredictable. Not to forget seductive with a tone of danger... hope this makes sense.
