when you're a kid you go out in the world and the world is full of possibility

you grow up and others / and the world convinces you that that's not the case, you have to struggle, we have limited resources, and limited time and whatever 

yeah, it turns out that is wrong

Ever since Riva Tez posted this presentation (iirc it was for Praxis) it’s been my header

Once I’ve been to a traditional Japanese onsen the bottom sentence is going on my arm or hand

Resonates greatly coming from a rural place I think, being in love with the US and tech for the opportunities was looked down upon

Side note - you touched upon why I will most likely never get a large tattoo: 

Japanese onsen

It's more and more accepted. Side side note - I remember a friend of mine bathing with several band-aids supposed to cover her tattoos that were actually floating around her... I feel that was gross enough to make onsen owners be more open-minded :)

👋I'm Ismène, I like to create, share and collect pictures (still and silent or not). You can find me on linktr.ee/ismene or in Tokyo.

As with many things in japan, a lot of gray area :) 

But generally I don’t want to inconvenience and make the onsen owners feel awkward and have to call people out. Yes, in order to preserve the peace by not having a tattoo instead
