Week 2 Homework: Long form video

I've had this video idea for quite a bit and I'm finally going to film it this week.

Possible titles

The art of feeling like yourself: tattoos, earscaping & jewelry tour (feels more "we" vs "me")
Adorning my body to feel like myself: tattoos, earscaping & everyday jewelry
How to finally look and feel like yourself: tattoos, earscaping & everyday jewelry (feels more "we" vs "me")
Adornment at our big ol age: tattoos, earscaping, and jewelry tour

Hook

I didn’t get my first tattoo until I was 27, and up until three months ago, I had literally one single piercing per ear.

For a long time, I think I let fear, expectations, and honestly perfectionism hold me back. But this whole process of adorning my body has really been a journey toward feeling like myself.

As I’ve stepped deeper into my identity as an artist, I’ve realized that adornment isn't about vanity. It’s a physical reminder of our worthiness, our value, and how we can align our outer vessel with our highest self.

Growing up in a family where people loved their jewelry, gold was never just metal. It’s lineage. It’s how we carry our presence, celebrate ourselves, and connect back to ancestors who understood that the vessel we live in is meant to be honored.

So today, I’m taking y'all on a tour of my everyday pieces. The stories behind my tattoos, how I approached designing my earscape, the jewelry I live in and what’s on my wishlist next. And hopefully you'll leave ready to adorn yourself in some new way.

Full script available here

I'd love feedback on the titles and which ones catch your attention most.
