Photo of a children's book written by Amy Marschall Psy. D. and illustrated by Abby Lastowski (aka me). Featured is a super adorable penguin named Slipper who smiles because you know you want to buy this book. She is on top of ice with a sparkly rainbow behind her.
The physical background is grass and pink and yellow lilies from Abby's garden.
In addition to the photo is a simplistic, more animated, grayscale version of Slipper saying, "Redesigned as an activity book available August 1st 2027!"

I haven't gotten new tattoos since my 2 yr old was born. This is the 1st time she's paying attention to them, it's adorable. When 1st healing she'd say,"Don't touch mama's colors!" Now she asks, "Touch mama's purple colors?" Or green, blue, whatever other color. She gives a light boop & a giggle. 🥰🌈

Kids at her school today:
"Is that (Kpop) Demon Hunters markings?!"
"Are they tattoos?"
"Can I touch them?!"
"When did you get them?"
"Look, ____'s mom has patterns!" *Shows other classmates*

Kids definitely made me feel cool today. 🥰

Photo Description:
Panel 1: In the middle of winding branches with various browns, oranges, and purples is ural owl named Garlic who is hanging on a branch by his prosthetic leg to regulate himself, and a tufted titmouse named Camembert.
Camembert begins, "IT'S A GOUDA DAY, I'M FEELING GRATE!"

Panel 2: She continues, "BUT JUST IN QUESO, I'M GOATING TO STRING TOGETHER MORE HOLE-ARIOUS JOKES!"

Panel 3: She finishes, "APOLOGIES, I DIDN'T ASK YOUR PARMESAN TO PUN AT YOU. I HOPE YOU'RE NOT FETA UP WITH ME."

Panel 4: Garlic replies, "I think they're brie-lliant, we all have different ways to regulate ourselves and keep from feeling blue."
There is a gray heart above Camembert.

Patterns are my own colors because Rumi is a cartoon and her patterns were impossible to mimic realistically. Ironically very 90s colors!
Will get touch ups when actually healed and take more pictures as time goes on.

Thank you! 🌈

"Nothing but the truth now...
Nothing but the proof of what I am..." 🎵

Looking rough because a lot was done hours ago, but my #KpopDemonHunters tattoo is complete. 🌈

My journey of acceptance of being #Neurodivergent and #Queer .
We exist. We'll always exist. And you'll never get rid of us.

I did pull it though since it's considered invasive.
