These Arms Serve as Reminders

my favorite body part

When I came across Keeley Schroder’s April 21st prompt- what is your favorite body part-my first thought was “my hair!”.

It’s my most expressive area of my body… I’ve shaved it, had mohawks and fauxhawks, and I love teasing it up into spikes. I currently have a very short undercut.

I have wavy curly hair which does not behave when it’s grown out. So I keep it short and just play.

A quick Google search tells me hair is technically not a body part. Dang!

So, I’ll go with my arms.

I’ve always gotten a good laugh when people who know me in real life and have only seen me in sleeves get a view of my arms.

'Rachella, what the heck? I didn’t know you had all that going on!’

I have 11 tattoos… most of which are on my arms.

I have never gotten a tattoo that did not have a lot of meaning behind it. I’ve been tempted.
