#hey rosetta!

[metaphortunes]

My good pal @gettinggsnowedunder made me realize I hadn't posted photos to Tumblr yet of this! This is my first tattoo. At a Hey Rosetta! show in Cleveland back in like 2011/2012, I asked Tim Baker to write one of my favorite bits of lyrics down with the intention of getting it tattooed on myself. Well, it took me ~15 years but I did it!

First pic is shortly after getting it in December 2025, the other two are from today so you can see how it's healed and settled in.

Sometimes your teenage self does something dumb, but teenage Ken did good here. I still love New Goodbye and I still love the idea of reminding yourself to be amiable and curious, especially in new situations.

Welcome - Hey Rosetta!

got hey rosetta! on the brain

[ID: a watercolour and ink painting of an anatomical heart, with song lyrics from Red Heart by Hey Rosetta! written along the left side that read "won't you let your red heart show?" The background of the painting is blank white. End ID.]

(this one is also in a non-angsty lyrics version and will hopefully be a card sometime next week)

Did not expect the Massey Hall concert to be so emotional. Great times were had with great tumblr friends.

Art I made to try and give my mind a second to shut off and just breathe. All my black followers PLEASE remember to take care of your mental health at this time
