This is a tattoo of my husband’s name. We decided to get them because he works out of state a lot and usually can’t wear his wedding band. I’m glad we got it done also because our wedding rings were stolen the very next day. In a mall parking lot… It was done by Mindy Crow-Levin at Natural Mystic in Natchitoches, Louisiana. She is a great artist and I would recommend anybody see her.

drawing is oriented entirely to spirituality. In Mexico there are indigenous people called Wixárikas (or better known as huicholes) these people have a deep connection with nature, creation and retention. They have a complex system of rituals that complement dress and a very folk art which always include a means of bonding with the metaphysical life the hikury (or Peyote) is a cactus has a properties through which pass very deep states of consciousness. Within their have stories, one I love is Venado Azul (blue deer) is very beautiful, explains how that people overcame an age of decadence and let them be what they are today, the deer is an animal sacred to them.
