Tattoos

I never followed through on mine. :( Good for you!
 
I got my first tattoo today! Finally. Been wanting it for ages but something always comes up so I thought **** IT. Anyway I now have "So it goes." on my right foot. Woop woop. It's a quote from my favourite book (Slaughterhouse Five) and I looooveeeee it.
I know someone who has that on the inside of their forearm, for the same reason.
 
Its a good quote :D

Why is everyone in the UK obsessed with bepanthen? everyone is telling me i *have* to get it and thinks im mad for not. ummm firstly its not vegan and secondly i dont have nappy rash.
 
Session II of Cat Tats :)

I was a little nervous, because you know, we all know our animals intricately - and I worried that despite how great the artist is - if it isn't perfect - then you've just got a picture of someone's cat on your body. I am really happy though - Boon (the black cat) is absolutely spot-on. And Mim is definitely Mim. He really spent a lot of time getting her colors and expression just right. He said she was unquestionably difficult because her face holds such expression and he wanted to be certain he captured it. Kudos to him - he has cats of his own that he adores. So he was the right choice for this project.

Two sessions to go! Sabra's portrait will be next - and the rest of the raven's wing.

Hail, Bosami!

Forgot if I posted my latest ink on here. Its a combination of two illustrations by Edward Gorey, an artist from Massachusetts (who really liked cats). His estate gives money to various rescue organizations in this area. The cats are an illustration from a T.S. Elliot book, The Old Possums Book of Practical Cats. Did you know that T.S. Elliot wrote a whole book of poetry about cats? Now you know.

I was perusing the list of artists who will be attending my local tattoo expo this summer. I am a stickler for finding high quality tattoo artists. Since every artist has their own special style, I have to match my ideas to the artist I think suits it best. I have been looking for 3 years for the right fit for a few pieces. I found TWO artists I loved and they both work at the same shop. I am contacting them to see about getting something done either at the expo or at their shop in the near future. I am super excited. Check out their portfolios:

My newest, like two months. It is covering up a wedding date. Sunflowers are my favorite flower.
