Sappho's essence in a bottle🏳️🌈🪻
I worked together with my tattoo artist last June, to create this piece for myself and have the forever reminder that q***r love, and (my) sapphic love, are beautiful; so much so that I wish I could just bottle it up 🫶🏻
Sappho, a Greek poet from the Isle of Le**os, off the coast of Turkey, was known for her fondness and love of the beauty of other women. Violets were often used in reference for wlw throughout time, spanning all the way back to her; pansy was an early 20th century reference to q***r men. Lavender has had a long historical tie to the q***r community, most notably with both the Lavender Scare & the self-named group from NOW- Lavender Menace, of the early 20th century.
Reach out to me if you'd like one of your tattoos woodburned! 🥰
