You are my favorite sister nun to ever love and share the fruit of the tree and document tattoos with and do general shenanigans with and i can't wait to do it again 🙏🏻💗🍆
I love the naughty nun outfits and have considered similar myself for Ren Fair garb. It's especially great as a group costume 😇
@AbbyCox You guys should totes def make a... wait for it... HABIT out of it. See what I did there? 😅
TH-cam must have greyed your red dress video! I missed it 😒. Now I am going to search for it.
@@traceej4685 I'll have nun of that talk! Abby is the nicest in the abbey!
@@zooblestyx I just deleted my comment and saw you responded to it. Nice pun 😂
If I had a nickel for every time a female costuber got demonetized after posting a video about sewing a red medieval dress, I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it is really crazy that it has happened twice.
You saw a chance and you took it! I salut you!
This meme still manages to make me laugh 😂😂😂
Who is the other?! 😂
@@stephhhie17 Abby Cox
Bernadette banner did one
Abby, dressed as a nun, saying, "I'm worried about you. How many have you had, buddy," is such a mood.
as someone who has tended bar in costume, she's got the vibe down. 😂
I want to hear what he remembers from from that moment! In his drunken state, he perceived two little old REAL nuns trying to save him from the devil’s drink. 😂
@@findingbeautyinthepain8965accidentally evangelizing someone because of a joke lmao
honestly it's infuriating that you and Abby got demonetized. Can people not use their BRAINS to understand CONTEXT? Sending you so much love and Halloween blessings!
The catch is a human has to look at it. A lot of it is often done by AI. You gotta get a human to look it it in order for a sensible conversation to be had.
@@katherinemclean1448if a human reports it, the AI is inclined to agree.
What video did people report these two are some of the most dressed and least offensive people on the internet. Most of the sewing and knitting channels I watch are very particular about being appropriately dressed when trying things on.
it was propably an AI that demonitised the videos... and from other youtubers I know that it's quite difficoult to get youtube to have a human look at it...
@@kristalpower292 so the thing about TH-cam is that you can report a video for literally anything.
I love that the medieval renderings of greyhounds somehow captures the goofiness of a happy greyhound. They're elegant dogs, but at the same time they can be such weirdos! ❤❤❤
Yes, this!! 😁
They really capture the essence of the hose goat
It is so sad and frustrating that you got demonitised, especially after you did cover the boob up. There videos showing so much more, ie the naughty halloween costumes and they don't get penalised. I'm glad you had a fun time and I love your new tattoo. I got another tatt myself recently and I find it to be just a bit of slight burn but nothing excruciating 😊
just the irony of youtube having adds for bras and all up, showing so much more but nope, a creator that happens to have breasts that are even covoered, thats pornographic . . . wtf is wrong with those people?!
@@SingingSealRianaI couldn't agree more. Do the ladies in skimpy swim suit videos get demonetized too?
We have a greyhound in our coat of arms!
Double standards all over the internet. Women have boobs,that's just a fact of life and penalising women who help others learn interesting things about history is ridiculous TH-cam!!!
@lucie4185 I agree 100 %. It's 2023 TH-cam! STOP acting like Puritans from the 1600's !
I swear that TH-cam must be INTENTIONALLY becoming more and more unfriendly to everyone.
Your outfits are adorable, and the Faire expedition looked like so much fun!
Yup. Its classic late stage capitalism enshitification. Get people to use product (in this case youtube) then once they're super used to it, transition the users into the product (sell their videos ad spaces to advertising companies) whilst telling them they are the ones benefiting since they get some of the ad revenue, then you make it so the users have to appeal to set criteria to get the advertisers on board, whilst they tighten the reach of your content so you have to do more of what they/the advertisers/investors want to get the same revenue you got to start with. And then the demonitise for more & more things whilst keeping all the ad revenue until you're nothing but a dried up husk hoping for a little fix. And they forget the last step which is always collapse of the original product. But it happens eventually.
Just think of how much more money they can make if they run adds, but don’t pay creators. Even if I was a devout Catholic, I think I could laugh, especially based on problems within the church leadership throughout its entire history, and including the modern era. And I could just not watch if it offends me.
@@AlexaFaie”enshitification” mmhm. Yes. I like it.
But it’s not happening to all content creators! I see a lot of content creators showing a lot of skin on a regular basis. So why are they only censoring some people?
@@lilolmecj I am a devout Christian, and I can say TH-cam is being ridiculous. Real Christians don’t see breasts as sexual. They are for feeding babies. Therefore, women should be able to whip them out whenever their babies need to eat. But showing breasts, in general, is not sexual. Just because some dude decided breasts are sexual, doesn’t make it biologically or even morally correct. I don’t understand “Christians” that believe this lie.
Demonetization seems to be the trend with TH-cam. YT is still getting their money, but you must be punished. In some cases it makes sense - violent or hateful, or even heavily controversial topics in some cases - but historical sewing images? I’m just flabbergasted.
I love your content. I love the tongue in cheek rebellion. I’m here for all of it. Naughty ankle display and all.
I love how Abby is ready to tell a drunkard to drink some water haha.
Morgan cut off the camera right before things got *really* weird which may or may not have included me, very loudly, going "I need to take a massive shit" in order to get away from this guy. 🫠
That is pure genius! I will be using that in the future 😂
@@AbbyCox I love how you know how to get out of these situations. 😂 I’m going to use that line next time. 10/10.
My first tattoo was actually a smiley face but the story is really cute. My boyfriend went in for a consultation and my mental health wasn't great, the artist noticed and ask if there was anything she could do. We jokingly said a free tattoo but she said "well I can't do it for free as my boss is in but I can do one for half price" so I now have a little smiley face on my hip and it always reminds me that no matter how bad things are, there is always someone who cares and wants to help. :)
Aww! This warms my heart, thank you for sharing ❤
That’s awesome. And wholesome. 😊 How sweet of that artist to notice you, and care! 😊
"Are you Morgan?!?! OH MY GOD I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL TOO!!" Was my favorite part. So relatable. Exactly how I'd react if I recognized you.
I can't believe YT demonetized you BOTH for those dresses. That's effing insane. On a lighter note, i adore you two incredibly talented, funny and brave (referencing THE ballsiest hair cut ever.....I'll still watch that now when seeking something epic!) women. Soooooo glad i found both of you. Thank you for many jaw drops, giggles and the realisation i have NO talent. 😁😘
My first tattoo was a matching tattoo with a friend of mine. The irony is we decided to get them after i was explainjng to her how my cousin wanted a matching tattoo with me, but we had agreed on everything except on what to get tattooed. So now i have a fox in black ink on my arm, and still trying to arrange with my cousin when to get our matching tattoo.
When the needle first touched my skin I just said "oh" because it felt like a mild scratch that didn't break the skin, the other tattoo artists thought i was in pain but i was just unimpressed, then the artist tattooing responded to my saying "i thought it was going to hurt" by whispering in my ear "that's because I'm very good at my craft" and I feel respect for that woman.
Ooh dang, that line feels so powerful! 👁️👄👁️
I am SO delighted that you did this as a response to TH-cam being so incredibly TH-cam (bad) because it is ridiculous that they would demonetize you for referencing medieval works or getting into a mockup in the appropriate underthings. I have seen the modern fashion girlies covering less in their try-on hauls and they seem to get no hate from TH-cam.
It's very wholesome that you and Abby went around and did something silly at ren faire tho!! I think the next time I can get a group together I'm going to give people tokens of some sort whenever possible.
Fr, I'm just thinking of all the outfits I've seen Mia Maples try on where she has to blur things because sometimes things are see though or just barely covering anything, but I've never heard of her having problems with monetization.
The thing is, that modern fashion girlies are interesting for advertisers, as they buy their stuff from various shops that might make other shops want to give youtube money to put their ad on the video, while it is much harder for youtube to get money from handcrafting and sewing things, not promoting to buy from shops that might want to advertise on your platform.
Honestly, I think there are some people that put effort in shitting on wholesome peoples content, and claiming 'indecency' on a lot of content, and depending on how much money youtube makes from the creator in particular, they act on it or don't.
It's ridiculous that YT do this when there is so much genuinely dubious content they allow and fully ignore. I LOVED this video. More Love Nun shenanigans please ❤❤❤❤
you mean like all the videos of people getting shot, war clips, gun violance and such. nah thats all fine theres no tiddy.
The description of a tattoo feeling like somebody brushing out your hair when it’s really tangled is an excellent parallel.
I've never been tender-headed, so I've always gone with the "cat scratch" analogy. Mine took about 45 minutes, so like a cat scratch that lasted 45 minutes straight. I think the fact that it is pretty continuous helps a lot.
I have one on my lower leg. Felt like someone dragging a credit card over my leg. It's more annoying than painful. But, I wanted to swat at it!
To me it feels like someone lightly slapping a sunburn
depends on the placement tbh. for arms/ legs i can see that, but getting the inside of your elbow tattooed feels like someone is carving onto your skin with a scalpel!
My ex described it as feeling like someone dragged a lit cigarette across the skin... for context; he was going to get a tat but wanted to know what the pain level was so asked the tattooist to do a "test patch" with no ink so he could determine his tolerance, and yes he has very low tolerance for inflicted pain, and no, he didn't get the tat...🥴
🙃🐨🇦🇺
I love how you present yourself. Very modest and innocent and then Woo ‘nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition’ by going out there and doing something completely different. Because I’m very much the same way. Had a coworker once ask if I ever cussed. Gave her my Customer Service smile “all the F-Ing time.” She was shooketh.
Wooooo! You got me! I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition!
nobody does...@@TheGypsyVanners
I’ve been sewing for 51 years and did not know the freezer paper trick! Thanks!!!
It's still fairly popular among applique quilters! That's how I had first heard of it.
@@OldSchoolLPsGames Ah! That might be it. I don’t quilt.
FREEZER! And here I was googling "Frazier Paper". There is a "Fraser Paper" Wikipedia entry about a paper manufacturer that was located in Toronto, Canada. They made "specialized printing, publishing, and converting papers" - but apparently converting papers do not include papers to aid in applique.
(And this is why my coffee is now cold.)
Please do not ALLOW any one demonize your work as a historical dress artist. Keep doing what you do. We love you ❤ Always have fun, no matter what.
Abby, when she got demonetized for having boobies: You know what? Let's push this even farther. *makes a video abt boobies throughout history *
Morgan, when the same thing happened to her: *makes her Halloween costume a love nun * IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT TH-cam?!???!!?!
Recently had my first dogs paw print as a memory tattoo.
And a memory tattoo for my late brother…a tailor,mouse collector with an interest in pirates…so a mouse dressed as a pirate in a pink coat,like the one he made.. with a threaded needle as his sword…the thread formed 2..as he was bro 2!!
My eldest bro had the same tattoo and now the design is destroyed,so it’s unique to us.
Love yours
So far I have gotten one tattoo, got it about 4 years ago now. When I started working on Minecraft, I spent the first week doodling different animals that could be added to the game (none of them have been) and one was a Box Tortoise. My partner and I were also struggling a ton with our mental health and we'd often find ourselves "sped up" and not taking time to breath and process. So they suggested we both get that tortoise tattooed as a reminder to slow down.
my first tattoo is a sappho quote "if not, winter" from the fragment of the same name. it's about not letting yourself get stuck in a moment because if you're stuck you'll never escape winter and the whole point of winter is to fade into spring and have the season cycle begin again. i absolutely loved the feeling of the needles.
Yay for first tattoos! I had my first tattoo picked out for YEARS but waited until I had made my first big adult move and wanted to mark the occasion. It is a line of Elvish on my forearm, and says (in Elvish) "Hail Earendil, Brightest of Stars" which in LOTR is the incantation Frodo says to get the Phial of Galadriel to shine. I liked the idea of carrying the magic words that bring light in the darkness.
So glad that me and my friends were able to help you out during the Turkey leg incident :) great meeting you.
YOU WERE AN ANGEL SENT DOWN FROM HEAVEN 😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻
First, demonetized for showing a period cote?!?!?!? WTF? Loved the video and now (as an illuminator) I have to try to find the naughty nun treed thing! Sounds like a great idea to borrow for a SCA event. Love your tattoo and helps me figure out what I want now as I love some of the illumination stuff.
As someone who performs as a naughty nun at Ren faires, I cannot express how much joy this gives me
Performing as a religious or spiritual leader is super disrespectful.
I am. Aaahhhhhh! I work for the Ohio Ren Fest and was alerted you guys were there *after* you were gone for the day. I hope y’all enjoyed your visit!!! Edit: That was our first real “rain day” this season but not as bad as this past Tricks and Treats weekend (which was our last one). It really rained us out haha. But I’m so glad you guys joined us for Romance Weekend and really hope you return next season!
As a person who's 1/3 covered in ink .... There's never 'the one's tattoo... Your ink shares and tells the story of one's life, and I add to my ink each major mark I cross in life/mind/spirit
You and Abby are a gift 😂 my first/ current only tattoo is "I Love You" in my late grandpa's handwriting. He passed when I was a baby, and wasn't super demonstrative, so out of the whole family we only had one card in which he'd written "I love you." My sister and I got it tattooed together on national sister's day about 8 years ago. One day I'd like to get my grandma's "I love you" right next to it 💙
I have cleveage showing in crew neck t-shirts and we will not talk about gap-osis that occurs in a button down shirt. Demonitization for historical costume purposes is so wrong. We need to see and understand undergarments as history bounding people. Y'all look like you had a great time!💚 My first tattoo is on my sternum. Everyone said it would hurt. I fell asleep. My ink master woke me up at the end and told me he had never had a sleeper before. I was amused. Glad you like your new tat.
I have one, fairly big tattoo (i suppose you can call it a half sleeve), which is a "family tree" of sorts, because it has the favourite flowers of my grandmothers, my mom and myself. 😊 Even the grandma who was dead against tattoos could not deny it is very beautiful. 😊
Now, both grandmothers are gone, but they are always with me ❤
I have 7 tattoos. My first one was the logo from the Wenches Guild (they were doing the Wench Collecting at that Renfaire). It's a personal reminder that "I am a wench. I am strong. I can get through anything."
I deal with chronic pain and the tattoo pain isn't bad and is sometimes a nice distraction from the chronic pain.
I love this so much! Love nuns 😂 But also I love your "living memorial" tattoo. I, too, get incredibly preemptively upset when I think about my dog passing even though I possibly have several years with him left. And the historical references?? This is what I come here for! So much fun. Tattoo-wise, I got my first one a couple of months ago (a play on the White Tree of Gondor because Boromir is my favorite LotR character) and thinking back on it, I think the cat scratch is more accurate for me. Just constant cat scratching for like 2 hours.
Also, you are correct to be annoyed with TH-cam. Do they not know how bodies work? (Facetiously asked; we all know they do.)
My first tattoo is an Eevee on my left shoulder blade with the thought being of adaptability as Eevee is one of several Pokemon that can adapt to whatever environment they are in! There's also a subtle mental health tidbit to it that I'm not going to elaborate on as it is personal. And pain-wise for me, it was like a light cat scratch on the linework with the add-on of accidental poking of sewing needles during the shading process.
My first tattoo is an armband... of polyhedral dice. 😁 I'd been playing D&D and other tabletop RPGs for almost 30 years at that point, so getting the dice around my arm seemed like a good plan. And it turns out I was right! 😁 I've gotten a lot of compliments on it
Love the love nuns and their shenanigans. I have an inkling about the fruit of the naughty tree and it gave me the giggles. Thanks for the joy that sharing your adventure brought. Tats aren't my thing but I love the design you chose.
I think you mean, "their shenunigans."
@@moonman559 Absolutely!!
Care to share? I'm lost after watching the handouts 😅
@@killiansirishbeer judging by the shape of the pixelation and just kinda knowing medieval humor, they were likely a particular man part. (Not trying to exclude anyone with that language, but that's as brand-safe as I think I can get)
@@killiansirishbeeryou can search 'nun picking fruit illuminated manuscript' and first image will show the Naughty Tree 😏
I got my first tattoo almost 3 months ago! I actually got it the day BEFORE i went to my state's ren faire lol.
I'd been thinking about getting this tattoo for 5 or 6 years now. It's the corona of the total solar eclipse from 2017. It's kinda color-inverted so the rays of light are in black and gray while the moon in the center is empty, negative space. It's hard to explain well in words, but it turned out amazing and I really love it.
This sounds super cool! I had to look it up, and there's a really cool photo on the wiki for: Solar Eclipse of August 21 2017 - if your tattoo design looks a bit like / is inspired by this, it's even cooler than I thought! It's awesome! 🤩😎
I only have one tattoo, thus far, but the story is sweet.
My mom turned 60, I turned 30, I was leaving my homecountry, loads of other things and my mom got dementia. So we decided to celebrate our love for eachother and get reminders. So now if my mom forgets who I am (or if I develop dementia too later on) we will have a reminder that we love eachother.
So in one weekend, we went to a rave, my mom got my friends drunk, and both my mom and me got tattoos. It is two words in our language and basically translates to both "I love you" as well as "you better take care of yourself". My moms tattoo is written in my handwriting and my tattoo is written in my moms handwriting and we both got it around 15cm*3cm (aroud 6x1 inch) big on our sides, "close to the heart".
My first tattoo is a memorial tattoo for my grandmother that's a crescent moon behind a cloud, because she always said she'd sit on the clouds edges to watch us whenever she passed away. And I would describe the feeling as if you took a lead pencil and scratched it against your skin quite roughly, something along those lines.
I only have 2 tattoos so far, but I have many more planned! My first was an ankh, about two inches high, on my right shoulder blade. I asked the artist how it would feel. I figured it would be kind of dumb to ask IF it would hurt, so I just asked how it would feel. He said, "Like a warm cat scratch." I think I wanted to do something that I knew my ex-husband (we'd just recently divorced) would not approve of and getting a tattoo seemed to fit the bill. My second is on the inside of my left arm and I had a great time watching the artist do it. Now I just want more because I like them.
I've never heard of the picture books you mentioned! Are those accessible through museum collections online or something like that? I do industrial machine embroidery as my actual job and I'd love to digitize some historical designs based on ACTUAL historical designs. I learn so much from you and the other costuming TH-camrs, and I'm eternally grateful you all have chosen to share your knowledge with us :) I'd be just as thrilled as the people in the video to run into you at a Faire. But I'm in the dead center of California so that's not likely to happen lol
The demonetization stuff is garbage and it's getting out of control on here, unfortunately. You have every right to rant about it, no apology necessary. TH-cam makes a ton of money off of creators like you and they should put at least some effort into not driving good people off of their platform.
Demonetized?! Le sigh
Great response! It looked like a lot of fun! I would have fan-girled if I'd seen you and Abby 🥰
My first tattoo was a butterfly on my left shoulder in 2003, when I turned 23. The pain was a never-ending cat scratch. Since then I've gotten 4 more tattoos; each time the pain is less/ I handle it better.
I want to get a bouquet of poppies "under" the butterfly
.. someday.
My first tattoo was the Misty Mountains as illustrated by J.R.R. Tolkien. Favorite book series that has really shaped who I am as a person.
My first tattoo, a lace. I knitted and crocheted it for my fashion designer bestfriend. And someone stole it on day of the fashion show😂
I love her and the projects what we made🥰 🧙🏻♀️🧙🏼♀️
I love the Love Nun (and all applicable puns) costume!!
I got my first tattoo almost 20 years ago. It's a St. Brigid's Cross, and it felt similar to getting my legs waxed.
The person who got so excited meeting the two of you was so adorable!
Catching up on videos, hadn't heard about the demonetization of "boobs" on TH-cam. I do find it hysterical that the commercial following your explanation was for Shapermint, and the model was quite voluptuous 🤭 I thoroughly enjoyed the video, loved your Love Nun outfits and I do not have any tattoos.... although my daughter has been trying to convince me, maybe for my 72nd birthday next year.
I get that ad too. Maybe I'm getting these because I've been watching Morgan more. 🤔 The ads must think I'm an elderly woman with small boobs based on what I've gotten lately. I'm none of that. Bras for big boobs, small boobs, and then natural looking makeup for mature women are what I've been getting.
Yay! And you're right about doing bits. I'm biased as a Ren Fest cast member, but everyone I see doing bits always seem more engaged and having more fun than the other patrons and telling you from backstage, we talk about the fun bits and try to interact with them more.
As for tattoos, I'd say it felt kind of electric, but also kinda like a small bite. My first one was over the inside of the forearm and some sections I didn't even know if she was getting, but we also started right on that tendon that runs down the arm connecting to the middle finger and damn that was so much more spicy.
This has got to be the cutest set of silly nuns ive ever seen 😂 looks like yall had a blast ❤
I am gonna be getting my first tattoo next month. It's gonna be a bunny in medieval woodcut style by my friend.
Bunnies have always represented something special for me since childhood. I have a lot of lovely memories with and it's gonna be also a homage to my first pet dwarf bunny devil.
Bunnies (technically hares) in those drawings are crazy; such fun
I can only think of the Rabbit in Monty Python's movie !
Here is the Wikipedia explanation :
"The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog
The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog is a fictional character in the Monty Python film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The scene in Holy Grail was written by Graham Chapman and John Cleese. The rabbit is the antagonist in a major set piece battle, and makes a similar appearance in Spamalot, a musical inspired by the movie."
@@m.maclellan7147 My family still quotes "One! Two! Five!" "Three, Sir!" "Three!" regularly!
Often when there's a bunny involved, or even if one of us is counting something out loud 😂
Also : "We have the Holy Hand Grenade!" Sometimes will get a mention, especially if it's an over the top method to get rid of a seemingly tiny problem 😂 Good times.
HEY! I understood that reference! (Nuns at the 'use your imagination' tree - medievalist nerd)
TH-cam sucks for demonetising you for absolutely no good reason, but the nuns, faire, and tattoo look amazing!
I am 62 years old and looking at getting my first tattoo. Like you I wanted to get one to commemorate my constant companions - my puppies. But what you said about doing it now makes so much sense. So I think there is a tattoo in my near future. 😁. Of course the husband thinks I am nuts but what is new? It’s not like I am asking him to get one. Onward!
I got my first tattoo the week of my 18th birthday. I'd been planning and saving up for this *specific* tattoo since I was 12. It's the quote "All we have to decide is what to do with the time given to us" from Lord of the Rings, as well as J.R.R. Tolkien's monogram. I got it across my shoulder blades and it hurt like a beyotch (Turns out my first two tattoos were both in some of the most painful places on the body. Oops.) but I absolutely love looking at it in the mirror.
As it happens, I am planning on getting my first tattoo next week! I'm nervous-excited, but it comforts me to hear it feels somewhat like cat scratches as that's something I have a lot of experience with as an ex-Veterinary Nurse. The tattoo will be to commemorate my first Familiar; my lovely black cat, Merrlyn. I also plan on getting pawprints of my other kitties that have taken a piece of my heart with them to the rainbow bridge, but as Merrlyn was the first, I'm getting something a little different for him. ❤
My first tattoo was a Mythosaur skull aka Mandalorian skull. I have been part of my local chapter of the Mandalorian Mercs for 10 years now, costuming for charity in various ways. I got mine in the very early days of covid before things were shut down in my state. Yes it did feel like a cat scratching after a bit. I didn't cry but i nervous talked the whole time 😅 my husband held my hand during the whole thing. Getting this symbol has become a tradition of sorts for some people when they get official, but i was a huge chicken so i waited. The mandos yes we dress up in plastic armor but why we do means so much to me. Fundraising for charities, making kids smile, that is what drives me.❤❤
My first tattoo was a Tudor rose. My Mum and I got matching tattoos on my 17th birthday (17 years ago). She pulled me out of school early, on a very cold and rainy day in October. What she didn't know when she made the appointment, was that the owner/artist was an addict. Yay.
She was an hour late, so we had to stand outside the shop with no cover from the wind and rain while my Mum called the shop again and again. We could hear the phone ringing from outside. Her toddler ran around the shop in nothing but a diaper the whole time. At one point, she left for almost an hour to go up to her apartment and get her fix. We got the tattoos and told everyone to avoid that place. It's gone, now
Regarding the feeling of getting a tattoo, it really depends on where you are getting it. The two on my lower leg were fine. My back (which has a lot of shading) burned like the devil, my wedding ring on my finger hurt very bad due to how bony my fingers are, but it was a short-lived pain, and my inner wrist was a bit sensitive as well. My only "interesting" tattoo story is my latest (the wrist one) that I got out of spite from my sister. Probably not the correct use of the term but I was just really pissed off about something she said and went and got a tattoo to make my stance VERY clear (LGBTQ+ support).
I have 12 separate tattoos but two of them were gone over twice, so technically 14 sessions, and one of them took three sessions to complete. So I've been in 'the chair' 15 times. My first was two butterflies for the 'butterfly project' with significant lyrics which I felt were fitting for my battle with depression and coming out of it at the time. My best friend wrote the lyrics so I have his handwriting immortalised (I just liked the way he wrote, a beautiful cursive, and he was more than willing to help me out). It's even more special now because he's no longer with us, and I will always have that love from my best friend with me forever. That particular piece was inked on me at midnight on my eighteenth birthday, by a family friend who'd been a tattoo artist for years and had never done a midnight session before, but agreed to do it for me that time and it was an amazing, fun, meaningful experience 🖤 my others are a mix of band related art for music that's affected my life in a significant way, such as the first band I went on tour with as a concert photographer (fulfilling my life's dream to be behind the lens, I'm also slowly going blind so it was a bucket list experience for me for sure. I turn up to concerts with my guide dog in tow and have become moderately successful over the last five years, a fact that I am eternally grateful for 🖤) all of my tattoos have a special meaning, including the runic initials of my son who is no longer with us (9 years today) and a long piece on my index finger, the one I use to guide my white cane/guide dog's harness handle, with her name (Olive) and an olive branch with nine leaves which I had inked on her ninth birthday. I believe tattoos are a beautiful way to commemorate things in your life that have meaning, and a way to carry them with you forever 🖤
This has become a bit of an essay, but if you've read to the end, thank you 😅🖤 I love your tattoo idea and will definitely be considering medieval woodcut art for my doggos when the time comes 🖤
as someone who loves tattoos but can't afford to get more atm, I always get really excited for people when they get tattooed. congrats on your doggo! he looks amazing. my first tattoo was an adaptation (with permission from the artist) of a bat/woman hybrid drawing. the funny thing is there's really no special meaning, I've just always wanted tattoos and I thought it would look sick. tattoo pain for me varies wildly based on the location. the outside of my arm just felt like a weird, tickly/buzzy sensation, whereas my inner elbow felt like someone carving into my skin with a hot poker
I have been sewing for 50+ years and never learned or knew to use freezer paper as a shape template. Thank u🥰
You two look like you're having so much fun! And I love your nun dresses. Also just like I heard some on the video say it does have an Alice in Wonderland feel. And you painted many of the faces red with the naughty basket gifts.😂
I hope you know I'd be just as excited as that lovely lady was at randomly running into you in the wild, Morgan! 😁
One of my favorite authors (Christopher Moore) has a book called "The Island of the Sequined Love Nun".
My first tattoo was a tattoo of my cat. Just like you said, I wanted a memorial tattoo (and intend on only getting "memorial" ones to limit myself ahaha), but realized I would not be in the mood for it when she would pass away. My cat had been having kidney issues for 5 years and in her last year her state was more unstable (basically she had between a few months to a couple years). So I figured, I'll have a tattoo before she does pass out. It helped tremendously grieving but also preparing for it. Each time I'd feel alone and miss her, she was right on my forearm ! I also have a history of memory issues and a history of abuse (and my cat grew up with me through that, and passed away when I finally reached independence and total safety), and it helps me feel like I have agency over myself. Like this is *my* skin and *my* tattoo and each time I doubt myself, I look at it and feel warmth from the memories with my cat. She passed away 4 months after the tattoo, but even before that, if I were uneasy outside of my home, looking at it made me feel safe because my pets are my home.
I LOVE the pun! And I LOVE the shenanigans! (I... do not love the very drunk gentleman, but well-handled). Congratulations on your first tattoo! :-D
I love your tattoo!! I just got my first (am 59 and it was a Friday the 13th special at Area 51 with my adult children) and its a cute little chicken from Harvest Moon! I just got the game for my birthday and even my tattoo artist loved that series!! He's my fave and I'll be back for more game tattoos!!
my first tattoo was for the same reason. I was 18 and knew that my dog was getting up in age and I didn't want to be sad so I got her actual paw print on my foot. I'm so happy I did bc when she did past it just reminds me of all the happy memories. love ur videos and abbys too !!
I also got a tattoo of my cat while he was still with me. He was already a elderly cat when I adopted him and had diabetis. When he left me 🌈 the tattoo got me a lot of strength during that time until today. Every time I miss him I can look at and touch the tattoo and think of all the happy memories as the tattoo has no connection to grief.
You two together is one of my favorite things! Wonderful shenanigans ensue!
My first tattoo is a red-winged blackbird in flight on my shoulder. The way you describe the pain as someone else brushing your hair is spot on!
It’s 6am and I have never been more entertained while getting ready for work. I love you ladies so much. I’m happy to see your shenanigans. ❤
Honestly love the little "shove off" to TH-cam. I was laughing a lot at the "tree of unmentionable things" 😂😂😂. It reminded me of my massive essay I had to write on art vs (rhymes with corn). There's a large amount of nudity in art where it's literally people having a bath or something normal/natural and basically wouldn't be demonitized within Europe. I mean there are nude statues in fully public places.
I really need to get some ren faire friends. I'm decent at putting together costumes but I can at best darn a sock. 😅 I really enjoy your sewing/creating videos for ideas/creative inspo. I took cultural history in school and I'm in college for Film now. (Cultural Studies is what class the essay was for. I literally switched my original major to it.)
At Disney World, there's a replica of a statue in Italy, and a Cast Member told us, "The only difference is that the one in Italy doesn't have the little towel."
My first tattoo was inspired by my desire to become a fashion designer. Alexander McQueen's designs stood out to me the most when I began to pursue fashion. His work captured my imagination. And so I chose to get a tattoo of the razor clam dress drawing from his sketchbook. Great video from you both ♥️
That tattoo is so fitting! I love the choice. You both are hilarious and I suspect you could do well as Nun of This and Nun of That next time :)
I love your videos so much ,Morgan! And the dogs and black Sphinx kitty! What a sweetie
I've seen both your and Abby's videos, and heard about the de-monitization. Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous! In both cases, the amount of "naughty" on display was NOTHING. Nothing one couldn't see in the most tame PG film. Certainly nothing compared to many other monetized TH-cam channels! I don't know how TH-cam manages these decisions, but both cases were thoroughly unjust, and you both have my condolences for that experience.
These Love Nun outfits, the RenFaire visit, social interactions, "naughty tree" tokens (which I am to imagine might be represented by an eggplant / aubergine emoji these days? Am I right?); all very fun. So neat to see you two together. Keep up the great work!
Yay funsies! Thank you for sharing the tip about freezer paper as a temporary shape to assist in prepping applique! Thank you for the reason behind a lining on your tabard! TYVM for saying that WoW shaped your understanding of a "tabard"--me too!
Funsies for Nunsies ideas:
Nun On The Run
Pirate Nun (cutlasses!)
Skater Nun (skateboards, but perhaps also cool graphics on the habit)
Kaiju Nun (just like Gojira, they used to shoot lightning out of their mouths)
Scary Nuns are no fun.
Thanks for all of your creativity, bravery, and just for being yourself.
Last year, instead of a xmas tree, I crocheted a bunch of 'naughty fruits' and had a tree based on that same marginalia!
My mom bought all of us our first tattoos at 18. I have fallen asleep during all the ones I have. I find it relaxing. The ones that hurt are the ones that got close to my armpit.
I loved seeing you use freezer paper for the appliqué! I use freezer paper for my English paper piecing!
love you so much!! love the shenanigans, and love how you adapted an existing project with new bits so it can serve another purpose. sorry you got demonetized, that sucks. my first tattoo was on my 18th birthday just a design of a fairy that i saw at Hot Topic and liked. No thoughts, just wanted to start on my journey of making my own permanent decisions. ❤
On the demonetization thing…..I don’t see them refusing to play Ads where people are less than “properly” dressed. 🙄
This makes me want a sitcom that's just medieval nuns living their best lives. And that's not something I'd ever thought I'd say
Also nun with a nose ring is a LOOK 😍
I'm getting my first tattoo in january!! I've been a historical reenactor for many years now and I'm getting a historic piece that I think is really fun in context💖💖 I'm so excited
Ugh, it's ridiculous that they demonetized you!!
I haven't got any tattoos, but lately I've been thinking that 18th century stocking clocks on my ankles would be really cool. There are lots of extant ones with embroidered or knitted colourwork designs, but I'd want to design my own based on those. Maybe next autumn for my 30th birthday...
It's funny your mom offered to buy your first one, mine did too! I took her up on it at 19, and my first tattoo is an Ankh with crow wings behind it. I got it on the inside of my left ankle, and it felt a little like fresh razor burn imo😂
This is insane. People can post hideous hateful vile mean videos that are monetized. It’s pure misogyny and stupidity that got you demonetized. Love your videos!!!!
The Ohio Renaissance Festival!! 🙌
I had to miss this year. I'm pregnant with hyperemesis, so not very mobile, and then I got plantar fasciitis the week were going to try and go. Literally impossible. I was so sad to miss. It's like being sick on Christmas. So it's so nice to people enjoying this place and event I love so much!
My first tattoo was something I thought about for a while but ultimately an impulsive decision right before everything shut down for covid 😂
It’s daffodils and lines from Wordsworths poem “Daffodils” in about the same place as yours. As far as feeling goes-placement of the tattoo HIGHLY affects the way it feels. That tattoo was nothing, my inner arm tattoo felt like being scraped with a hot knife for 2 hours. It was PAINFUL
This title is a jumpscare tbh
My first tattoo was a tiny key on my wrist. I should have known I was in trouble when the artist bragged about seeing how many small tattoos he could knock out super fast. As it healed it morphed slightly and got quite…phallic. I had to go to my friend’s cousin to get it fixed, I still have some scarring there and can sort of see the original tattoo. At the time I was a little sad, but now, at least I have a story.
Side note: I’m a little disappointed you aren’t getting a memorial tattoo (though VERY glad there is no call for it now) I’m working on my final master’s project and taking oral histories about people’s memorial tattoos. I find it fascinating who gets memorials, what they memorialize, and why.
Ohio Ren is my Home Faire! Glad y’all had a great time. I’m currently studying in Bloomington, so I’ll have to check out Abby’s tattoo parlor. My first tattoo was a blue dragon in the style of a Japanese watercolor painting I loved. I added red clouds later and am going to get a green dragon to complete the half-sleeve!
I truly appreciate the level of snark in which you two went to! ❤
Rant away! Demonitizing historical images is ludicrous.
And if you don’t like cleavage don’t look at it.
Hey Morgan. Congrats on your first tattoo! You never forget your first :) My first was an 18th birthday present to myself. I got a phoenix on my hip, and I got it done by the same artist who had done tattoos on both of my parents. It was really special.
love your new dog friend--great call on getting the tattoo now! i had the same idea, wanted a portrait of my dog but knew i wouldn't be in the right mindset when she actually left. well she passed a few weeks ago and i'm so glad i went through that before she left.
Yay, historic manuscript art tattoos! I have bass and treble clef dragons inspired by the Book of Kells. For a long time before actually getting them I knew wanted musical dragons on either shoulder. But, both because I was concerned that Asian style tattoos were light cultural appropriation, and because I am naturally contrarian and the style is very common, I looked to the knotted animals of Celtic manuscript art instead. (Not that I'm not a dork for Chinese and Japanese art and culture like most other nerds) I think I created something more unique, and more personal in what I feel is an underutilized art style for tattooing. P.S. Boo to the demonetization. And maybe next time the "naughty" and "nice" prizes could be pastries, perhaps?
My first tattoo was a memorial tattoo for my late husband -- a wolf and polar bear that he drew while I was deployed. My most recent tattoo, however, memorializes me being elevated to the order of the Laurel! It features my SCA name in a bindrune, encircled by a laurel wreath and a "stained glass" border. I loves it. If you want more work done, I can highly recommend my dude Matt Khan, at Saints and Sinners Tattoo in Hooksett, NH. :-D (Still hoping to see you at an SCA event around here sometime!)
I think of tattoo pain as sort of like scratches on a sunburn. I love the idea of memorializing the living - I also recently decided to get a tattoo of my living fur babies because I love my cats so stinking much. It turned out beautiful, and spooky, and it gives me so much joy that I can carry their faces around with me when I'm away from them!
I love that you take us on these adventures and firsts with you!
I have only one tattoo (so far), which I got in 2018. It is of an eye from the video game sunless sea, and it happily lives on my inner left ankle as a subtle nod to a series of unfortunate events. I love that you also have greyhounds, I have one of my own and they are this perfect blend of historical, noble, and DEEPLY silly. And there are so many wonderful medieval woodcuts of them! Congratulations on your new Heraldic Beaft tattoo!
