"METAMORPHOSIS"

Here is my latest insect pinning piece. It features a luna moth cocoon, used vials of testosterone HRT, and an imperfect luna moth specimen with frayed and broken wings to represent transition. It also features lavender to represent the peace in finding oneself, and a pin I selected at Hot Topic years ago the day I accepted I was transgender. I painted the shadowbox frame myself, and it too is a little messy to represent the non-linear aspects of transition.

The most important facet of this piece is imperfection. Things haven't always went as I expected during my transition, and I lost a lot. There have been exceptional challenges and hurdles. But still, I persevered and transformed, growing my own wings and finding who I truly am. The peace that has come with this despite the trials and tribulations is very difficult to put into words, but more than anything I feel like I am Home. I may not be perfect, but I am a man who flew. Who could ask for more?

I love myself and my trans siblings! I hope this art may connect with you, even give you hope. You too can go through METAMORPHOSIS.

Just got my newest tattoo from ozzybat.ink on insta! Introducing the

LARVA LAMP!

It's absolutely sick and I'm so happy with it, thanks to the artist for bringing such a cool idea to life! So worth being butchered for a few hours for! 😝 Can't wait for the color session next.

Edit: it's a North American Wheelbug nymph!!!

Can anyone help me identify this cool bug I found? It was located in Humble, Texas if that helps! I'll update this post when I find out what it's called! According to iNaturalist it may be some kind of wheelbug but I'm not sure.

Another recent bug tattoo! This is a pink centipede on the back of my right leg to match my pink millipede on the left. I haven't come up with a name for him yet, but I love him dearly.

My most recent bug tattoo based off a Green June Beetle, a native bug where I'm at. I got it specifically for my wife, who almost stepped on one but was able to feel it under her foot in time. She rescued the sweet little thing and took it to safety. This tattoo is a testament to her gentleness with wildlife. 💚 It's on top of my shoulder!

Giant grasshopper (Topidacris collaris) 14/01/25

Very chill dude, and also bigger than my phone. I don't have a good backstory with grasshoppers so I didn't come too close, but my friend litteraly patted him and he stayed still.

Btw my lack of parental instinct applies only to human children.

I will readily adopt and raise every single baby insect I see.
