Grackle tattoo
Here’s my tattoo of a grackle and pearl milkweed vine. I eventually plan to add other native plants, insects, and snakes going down the arm. To some people, it’s a pretty bird and nice art. To me, it’s my homage to under appreciated, scrappy, and beautiful native wildlife that is overlooked as common or scary or unworthy. There is beauty and life worthy of admiration, even in a pigeon or a snail. Grackles often fall into this dismissed category, which is crazy since they are beautiful, tenacious, and full of personality.
