SAGE-INK: SACRED BODY ART
Dancer Sage Ricci writes: “For me, tattoo is ritual. I am being entrusted with the marking of another persons body for the rest of their life. I take that duty very seriously. To do quality and conscious body art in a safe and clean studio space is an honorable way to make a living. Each tattoo is a story, a piece of the unconscious made solid in flesh. Tell me your story, what’s important for you and I will help bring it to life, to flesh.”
