New Tattoo!
Well boys & girls, I have at last got the tattoo I've wanted for ages done!
It's a Phoenix rising from the flames. Wanted it for ages since I had an MS scare a few years ago, where I lost the sensation in/use of my arms & legs and had to learn to walk again (brain had somehow also forgotten how to do this - or even sit upright!). They tell me now that it wasn't MS - thank god - but don't have a clue what it was! I then had my big bike accident, which I feel I'm rather lucky to have survived! (I was thrown 25 metres up the road, landed on my head, broke 6 bokes & was unconscious & not breathing!). So - I kinda associate with the Phoenix/ashes kinda thing. I always liked phoenixes any way but this just made me like them even more!  It took just over 3 hours which people keep telling me is nuts for a first tattoo but I didn't find it too bad! I'm very pleased with the results and can't wait for the dressing to come off!  It was done by Yan at Holy Cow Tattoos and he designed it for me too... One of the reasons I waited so long before getting it was that I hadn't found anything I liked enough to have permanently emblazoned on my body and I can't draw to save my life! I popped in to see Yan and see what he thought and he drew a rough idea out in about 3 minutes - I fell in love with it straight away! I didn't see the final design until this morning when I turned up for my appointment and I only saw the colours once it had been finished!  I did give him permission to just do what he thought was good, as I had seen loads of his work and been mighty impressed! Any way - that's all folks - I'm rathr chuffed!!!

  This is because I have been through puberty!  Most women like it - I suppose it's down to not feeling they're molesting a child... This also runs true with those missing a 'Y' chromasome as well! As for the tat - I can't stop looking at the picture! |

Nice tat. I'm not normally a fan of colours, but that I like.
Don't let them make you feel bad about the rug. They're just jealous that they can't grow one. |
