Tattoos involve lots of needle like pricks, I'll pass. Merci, mais non.

I know. All these years I've been able to resist. And I may continue resisting. But the Two Birds work is so beautiful. I started having little fantasies yesterday...if I did, what would I do? A tiny ballet shoe on one ankle, and the swim/bike/run--also tiny--on the other...
I don't THINK I'll actually do it. But you never know.

The artist who did my tattoo (Tarah Pennington) is very good with tiny. She figured out how to do the small (size of a half dollar coin) tat I wanted and still keep it clear by leaving off some of the details and changing some of the shading AND by adding a little bit of color to bring the whole thing to life.

She was very careful and took her time with a tiny needle to put fine details into what is a very simple-looking tattoo. And did a lot of neat things like leaving wee un-inked bits between the separate parts so it looks tidy and clear, yet when you look at it you don't notice them. (they were not in my original picture I brought in, she did that herself when she drew it for me)

I HATE plucking my eyebrows! but I am going to get a tattoo to celebrate my 50th birthday coming soon. A sunshine on my shoulder. I get so depressed in the winter when it's gray all the time that I want my sunshine always
with me

It actually didn't hurt nearly as much as I expected it to. The edge that got close to my shinbone felt like getting snapped by a rubber band, but on the whole it felt like someone running a toothpick over my skin. Or drawing on me with a slightly too-sharp pencil. Originally Posted by bmccasland
