What were both of your first tattoos?
Fetish: [Mine] is so corny [laughs]. I was literally 18. [Fetish shows a rose tattoo on her forearm]. I got it because my mom pissed me off so bad. I was 18 and when she was asleep, I took her car to get a tattoo. I didn’t even have my license.
SIIICKBRAIN: Mine was a horseshoe on the back of my neck. I had hair at the time and I could cover it up, because my family was very not into tattoos.
Fetish: We both grew up on the farm.
SIIICKBRAIN: We’re both from the south also.
Where did you both move after the farm?
Fetish: I went to the closest city to me. I went to Atlanta. I went for cosmetology school and then I went to New York.
SIIICKBRAIN: Did you really? I left North Carolina, moved to New York, and went to makeup school. I feel like I’m learning so much about you.
Did you have similar pathways towards music?
Fetish: I did talent shows my whole life. My mom took me to America’s Got Talent, but I sucked!
SIIICKBRAIN: Were you on TV?
Fetish: No, because I sucked! They didn’t want to send me to the next round.
SIIICKBRAIN: Did you rap?
Fetish: No, I was country singing.
SIIICKBRAIN: That’s so cute.
Fetish: It was cute, but it wasn’t. You know how your mom is always going to believe in you? She couldn’t see that I sucked.
SIIICKBRAIN: I always wanted to do music. I had really bad anxiety and agoraphobia, so it seemed really farfetched. Whenever I finally got the courage to tell people I wanted to do music, they would low-key laugh in my face. I didn’t even start until 2020 when my best friend overdosed. My best friend died and then I was like, “Holy shit, life is so short. I should just make music.”
