Wow ! Jessica, I love that artist's work. I've been wanting to get a tattoo of all the state flowers from the states I've lived in and now I'm wondering if I should go to Brooklyn to get it!!!
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Oh, lisah, that's such a good idea!

Herding cats for fun
I don't have tattoos because I am also a rotate all the art occasionally person. I get tired of seeing the same thing all the time.
I did think about getting Mishka's pawprint but waffled about where to put it. He liked to pat my face with his velvet safety paws, but facial tattoos and I are not friends.
I could follow that with all the other cat paws and have a trail meandering up my spine. Which would be super cool but frustrating when I couldn't see it.
So I probably won't ever ink my skin but trying it out with henna would be fun.

Our wings are not tired.
After a week long visit I am driving my sister back home today. Making a round trip so I told my eldest son and his roommate I was fetching them to keep me company. Hope I can have calm conversation with him. He's not doing good.

The linked tattoo artist's work is gorgeous! She has an amazing skill with color shading.
I have two tats. I mentally sat with the subject and placement for years with both before I got them. (A Viking long ship at the top of my right thigh and a swallow from the Akrotiri frescos on my left upper arm.) I've been happy with both since I got them—2009 and 2018 respectively. I'm not ruling out another, but I don't have anything currently in mind.

Okay, Jessica, a friend of mine is literally at that studio getting a tattoo right now. Like, her appointment started at 12!
If I ever get another tattoo (unlikely) I'll go to Korea and get a whale from this dude: [link] [link]

I'm seriously obsessed now, Jessica! I'm trying to figure out roughly when I could take the trip. I've been thinking about this tattoo for years and hadn't found the right artist for it.

Those whales are incredible, flea!

Wow! The first looks like brushwork—so cool.

My friend is only about 1/3 done after 7 hours - it's a full-arm thing - but she's very, very happy with it already and said the process was really great and there was a nice older dog at the studio to hang out with.
