Think aloud
Dark feminine tattoos are a representation of female power in its truest form! It’s not about being feminine in the traditional sense, but rather being a menace to a society that has always seen us as less than.
So, when you decide to take this step in your life, it’s important to make sure that you’ve decided on the perfect tattoo option so that you can commemorate those battles. You’ve been through so much, and you simply don’t identify with the archetype of the holy and pure woman.
You identify with the other side of the story. Your favorite stories are those of Medusa, Hecate, Lilith, and Persephone. You don’t want to fall in line with the expectations of women, which is why you’ve found the perfect way to rebel against this system.
