Yes, Harry… when you see some of the ghastly stuff that gets done…it makes the really good work stand out even more… 
Sorry Stella, I think they are all 'orrible, but as long as it’s freely inflicted on others, not me thats fine 
No need to apologize … I would never have one myself…but some are obviously better workmanship than others… and, as I have said, there is a real demand and it pays well… which means this young tattooist is able to support herself and her family, so I salute her and wish her well.

There’s some astoundingly beautiful tattoos out there, just google ‘Watercolour Tattoos’. However, as someone with a rose on my shoulder (rebellious teenager) I can say that the colour dulls with time and as the skin stretches as the body changes. So some of these detailed fine line drawings will blur into a grey-green over time. But to each his own. I have no problem with tattoos or body mods of any kind, but object when they stop the wearer being able to be a productive member of society and paying his or her way. and subsequently falling on the taxpayer to subside their lifestyle because they can’t get a job due to their visible tattoos.

I have several pieces of her artwork on my walls… and that is where I prefer them. 
but she has to make a living… so…

Very good!
Reminds me of ‘Clio’, a wee Italian Greyhound I had years ago
The finished portrait was even better than it shows here… you could swear the dog was breathing …

My friend did a “tattoo” (fake) on a young boy who has a terminal illness… he spent ages choosing which one he wanted… a lion and a tiger in beautiful colours… and she was delighted to see the pleasure her work gave him
“Although Jack will not reach the age to get a tattoo, it was on his bucket list… So today he gave me the honour of drawing one on using Sharpies and face paint. He’s an incredibly brave boy who raises money for @thetmdteam to help them help other children.”

She is extremely talented Stella…I love tattoos and have many but there are many “scratchers” out there who give the profession a bad name…Her work really is beautiful and she sounds a beautiful soul too…
Hi Helen… yes she is a lovely person… had some serious knocks in her young life, but has come shining through…

I’m having my first one tomorrow and , YES, I am fully aware it’s a mid-life crisis 
but the decision is made!
It’s going to be a 14 cm Concorde aircraft flying up my lower back (well…I say back…). I may post if it turns out well. If it doesn’t then - apologies for getting you all worked up

Go for it and show it off, is it going to be on full afterburner?

As long as it’s not flying down your back then it should be fine
I rather thought that you may have gone for a golfer and a hole in one
