This is my first tattoo. It was done by Hank at Holdfast Tattoos in Perth, Australia. It represents bits and pieces from some of my favourite songs and poems. It represents traveling and wanderlust. Also, I grew up by the sea and it means a lot to me. Finally I got it done because I’m moving back to Sweden after having spent 2,5 years in Perth. This is my goodbye to my time here.
In 1966, Brand campaigned to have NASA release the then-rumored satellite image of the entire Earth as seen from space. He distributed buttons for 25 cents each asking, “Why haven’t we seen a photograph of the whole Earth yet?” He thought the image of our planet might be a powerful symbol. In 1968, a NASA astronaut took the photo and in 1970 Earth Day began to be celebrated. During a 2003 interview, Brand explained that the image “gave the sense that Earth’s an island, surrounded by a lot of inhospitable space. And it’s so graphic, this little blue, white, green and brown jewel-like icon amongst a quite featureless black vacuum.” During this campaign Brand met Richard Buckminster Fuller, who offered to help him in his projects.
