Wanna show some more skin?

sure, and sometimes i get a mild rash, usually on my neck. but i'm talking about unbelievable itching. i can visualize my tattoo to the last drop of ink even though it's on my back, because every last nanometer of it itches. nothing else on my body itching at the time. it's like when i sweat (after gym), it somehow reacts with the ink or something.

sounds like very specific hives....

Blocked pores? sweat glands?

two and a half years later, I've booked the appointment

Friday at noon

whoooooooohooooooooooo

Where?

How big?

How much of that picture? (I do like the flower fairies!)

in theory, the branch will co-incide with my right shoulder blade (still deciding if the pic should be flipped)

I think it'll be about 6" high, Jamie's going to re-size her once I get there - and sort of fit her to my shoulder.

I've asked him to sort of riff off the pic - more grey/black, less pink/purple but all of the original green. None of the lettering from the original.

I recently found the poem that she was with in the alphabet book ...

Fuchsia

Fuchsia is a dancer

Dancing on her toes,

Clad in red and purple,

By a cottage wall;

Sometimes in a greenhouse,

In frilly white and rose,

Dressed in her best for the fairies'

evening ball!

I couldn't believe it when I found out she was a dancer. It was sooo meant to be

Wowee, 6 inches! That makes sense for getting detail, and detail is what makes that so nice.

How many sessions? Surely not all at once?

I'd love to see a photo of the finished product, if possible.

be ready for pain, beth. back can be very painful, especially around the spine. oweeeee. but it's worth it, of course.

Jamie thinks that given how I tolerated the one on my foot, I shouldn't have too much trouble, but who knows. I'm ready to wince.
