Ellis the Wise
Designer, Artist, and Small Business Owner in Ellis' Bunker
Ellis speaking, here to tell some stuff!
I am a Twitch streamer currently living in the Netherlands. I don't have a cat, but I do have a snake with a cute dog face.
I have quite a severe version of AD[H]D, so my weaknesses include having problems estimating time and scheduling, among other things like concentration problems. Sorry for that :).
In a regular week I either work on my games, work on 3D art, do kickboxing, or stream.
I am a huge nerd for a lot of things, some of them include: Star Trek, videogames, [medicinal] herbs, medieval stuff, creepy stuff [skulls, furs, bones], makeup, making clothes, and computers.

A lot of people ask me about my tattoos!
SPANNER - right arm:
For my dad, who comes from a long range of diesel mechanics. He hoped he could teach me a thing or two so that I could take over, but I didn't :) I am still quite the handywoman though! The 'steek-ringsleutel' is the first tool I remember him teaching me.
BLUE RINGS - left arm:
For my mom, who comes from a range of skippers and sea farers. She was brought up on the water and took me out to sail from very a very young age. Nowadays, she is an artist, working with clay. The blue rings are representing ripples when a stone gets thrown into the water. Deep, I know, haha.
DAGGER - index finger:
that's for when I get in trouble and I need a weapon.
RAVEN SKULL - sternum:
I just love corvids, they are some of the smartest animals on the planet and I wish I could make friends with one. They are a symbol of wisdom and knowledge.
HERBS - ribs:
I am obsessed by medicinal herbs. Some of my favorites I got tattooed in red and black: Absinthe, Thyme, and Poppy.
SNAKES - both thighs:
On the right is Niðhöggr or Nijdhakker, the evil serpent which gnaws on the roots of the tree of life, and on the left is Jormungandr, the serpent under the seas that makes the waves and encircles all earth. Both stories have Germanic / Nordic origin.
CANDLES - both calfs:
well, what can I say....the candle burns on both ends.
STRIPES - right hand:
long story, but they cover up a scar made by my mom.
SQUIGGLIES - fingers:
they are there to look good.
