8/16/2024, Boston, Massachusetts: I ended my voyage in the only way fitting, by getting a traditional handpoked tattoo from artist, boat builder, and tattooist Owen Payette McGarry, a master of his craft and a fount of knowledge of New England maritime folk traditions.

In addition to the 19th century Nantucket whaler I chose from his flash book, the other tattoos you can see in this photo are by Facundo "Faka" Cejas (the Peglar Papers eye), Laceyrea Barrett (the fish with legs), and Chelsea Rhea (the tailfin of a huge mermaid that takes up the other side of my arm).

Finally got around to designing Jhara's back tattoo and after watching ATSV I realized I accidentally made her a Spider-Person, whoops. Let's look at the evidence:

Accidentally acquired powers that have great responsibility: check

Spider theme and imagery: check

Climbs and swings real good: check

Animate Rope spell = web slinging: check

Dead father figures: check

Conclusion: Jhara is a spider person.

Black is pre-rift incident, gold is post.

Sailor Kermit is such a vibe, also the whole movie has a really weird pace and I love it.

What a frog
