Judy Jaramillo Argumedo first came to me in 2009, when I was just out of my apprenticeship and starting out my career. Fourteen years later I am tattooing this powerhouse of a woman regularly.
During these years she has become the principal of a school, after decades of being a teacher. Out in the world she is known for visiting the homes of her students and making herself accessible to them and their families, and in my studio I know her for being a person who shares honestly and deeply, somebody I can relax with while working on, someone I laugh with and someone I can offer my full creativity to, because we trust each other.
Judy talks about her indigenous and Latinx roots, and what it has been like to be a tattooed woman of color building a career in education.
I am stoked to be a safe space for Judy.
Thank you for finding me all those years ago, friend.
