Today i finally took the plunge after many years of wanting .....and got my first TATTOO. Thats right..im no longer a tattoo virgin. Heres a pic of my design and the tattoo itself.
I would like to thank out own Joe aka "Mother" for drawing up the design for me. He did a great job!!
Ironically..the guy that did the ink work...his name is also Joe..

Nice one Mary - looks neat. Good colourful design by Joe too.
I've got two tats but neither are modelling related. One is a bikers tat that I've had for over 20years and the other is a native american shield with a bears paw on it. My wife has one and my daughter also has two; so we're definitely a tattoo loving family here!

So is that an early Tigger or late? Anyway, welcome to the world of ink, Mary. I've got a Chinese dragon, a Celtic cross, and a Balinese tribal armlet. Am I right in guessing that tat's on the back of your shoulder;) ?

Gee Mary, it only took 3 posts and you're already in trouble with the 'Paint Police'. :-)
Not my cup-o-tea but have all the fun you can stand.

as it is on my collar bone.

Hi Mary
Cool tattoo - but the aircraft that Tigger's holding is badly mis-shapen... it almost looks like a (gulp!) TANK! Personally, I'd blame Joe for the artwork!
Just kidding! Excellent - enjoy!
All the best
