The addiction is a real thing, a friend of mine has it and sometimes it's all she talks about... I do have it as well. Only my economy is holding me back.

Some weeks ago I had printed out a black and white picture of Sherlock to hang on my wall... and a little 'artsy' I wanted to put a lipstick kiss on it. Some of the ink stuck to my lip and I couldn't get rid of it... the smell of it drove me mad; I was almost itching for a tattoo!

My daughter recently turned 18 so she was able to get her first tattoo. Just a small one to start with.
It's a black puzzle piece. It has signifigance to her and her girlfriend. Oh, and it's behind her left ear.

I'm a big fan of tattoos, and I really want to get one myself some day.
I want to get tattoos in a style like this, maybe a bit smaller. I really love detailed tattoos with a lot of pattern.

Those are beautiful and awesome, Batchlock! I really like the wolf!

I prefer owl, but wolf good too!

I was a bit nervous about my heart tattoo last night to be honest (the one on the first page with the blood and all)

I had written my own work phone number on my left arm because I keep forgetting it... And I had to give the Irish Head of Delegation that number late at night, so I just showed him my arm so he could write it off from there, as I also felt it was one of those times I struggled to say the right numbers (I am dyscalculic).

It was only when I held my arm to him that I realized it was the arm with 'that' tattoo... He seemed a bit taken back and said "Oh... you have a tattoo there". But I'd like to think he doesn't think less of me. Either way if he does I hope to prove him wrong on my shift tonight.
