TIAMAT TATÚ Where tattooing is a practice and invitation to sit with oneself, to sit with discomfort, your thoughts, emotions and ultimately, an invitation to sit with theSilent Creator that we were all birthed from, whatever that may mean to you.
Sitting so present, that you are then able to hear its healing whisper, its song that has been singing everyday, every moment, every second.
Tattooing here is a form of Communion - A Space where sharing and exchanging thoughts and feelings are safe from judgement or criticism. Whether it's a beautiful ornamental body art you desire or a symbol we create that is most sacred to you to instill the medicine and reminder you seek,
TIAMAT TATÚ will offer you a space rooted in Nurture, Patience, and Deep Presence.Whether you come with silence, tears, or laughter, you are Fully Welcome Here.
WHO IS
TIAMAT
TATÚ?
So,
The story starts with…
TIAMAT, The Primordial Goddess,
Existing at or from the beginning of time, Embodiment of Chaos and Creation, she was young, beautiful, and in her truest form, The Sacred Mother.
Giving birth to a multitude of the first generation of Gods with her husband Apsu, God of Fresh Water. She is described as calm, loving, and deeply nurturing, but then her world is shattered when one of her offspring becomes murderous, killing her husband after discovering his plan to eliminate several younger gods he feared were growing too powerful and disruptive.
TIAMAT enters her second phase, filled with grief and furious rage she transforms herself into a vengeful five headed serpent monster.
Her need for revenge leads her into battle with her son Marduk, the God of Storms. With his powerful wind driving powers he splits Tiamat completely in half winning the battle and is crowned “King of Gods”. He then uses Tiamat's split corpse to create the very heavens and earth that we live on today…
The Entirety of the earthly world was thus created. With half of her body as the Sky,
The other half as the Soil, her ribs as the vault between Heaven and Earth, her monstrous stomach as the Mountains, and her weeping eyes and poisonous spittle as the Clouds, Winds, Rain and Fog.
When
I hear
TIAMAT’S
Story,
I hear My Story, I hear My Community’s, I hear OUR Stories. . .
*~Her Trials and Tribulations
Exactly mirror our’s for millenia and to this very day. It's a timeless tale of
“Evil vs Good“ “Order vs Chaos” “Heaven vs Hell” “The Unconscious to the Conscious" “Spiritual vs Religion” and so on... And I'm not just talking about our Society, but the very same battles that continue inside of ourselves…
What have we learned from each battle?
*~I came across this quote:
“CHAOS IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE ERADICATED, but something to be understood, a force that when shaped gives rise to the structure of the UNIVERSE ITSELF”
*~CHAOS, does not immediately equate to Evil or Negative,
Our world is far beyond those limiting definitions. When we allow ourselves to see chaos from the lens of a truly open mind with endless possibilities we start to see that there's actually something so profoundly beautiful happening. It’s Potential, It’s Life. Like a thunderstorm rolling through a peaceful land. At first, the storm is loud, disorienting, and seemingly destructive. It shakes the trees, floods the ground, and sends animals scrambling for shelter. From the outside, it looks like pure disorder, Destruction, Chaotic and Untamed…
*~But when the storm passes,
the land is different. The air is clearer, fresher, and charged with energy & new life. The storm’s destruction wasn't pointless, it was a process of renewal. The soil is enriched, the rivers are fuller, and the atmosphere is renewed. What seemed like a disaster was actually the environment preparing for New Growth, New Opportunities for Life to Bloom.
When we stand face to face with Chaos, we are standing face to face with Possibility.
The question is not “How do we destroy it?” but “What can we build from it?”
“CHAOS IS NOT THE ENEMY BUT SIMPLY A TEACHER. IT INVITES US TO SEE PAST FEAR, TO UNCOVER THE UNSEEN SHAPES OF WHAT WE COULD BECOME.”
*~With TIAMAT’s Medicine,
I hold in my heart the Sacred Mother, the nurturing and caring energy. I make endless room for the universal law of Chaos & Creation to govern my practice,
Honoring the truth that from Chaos, Beautiful worlds can be formed.
As your fellow neighbor, sister, and friend, I am here doing this work with you, the sacred work of remembering our endless capability, and learning to accept all of ourselves, knowing that even our chaos is sacred, and every part of us belongs~*

“Jackie provided a comfortable and safe experience. I enjoyed getting a tattoo from someone that demonstrated how much they enjoy the craft of tattooing. Although I was open to her own design, she still asked me for details I was looking for, allowing me to be a part of the design process,It was honestly such a calm experience.”
