I have wanted a tattoo for years. I wouldn't because I never wanted to have an identifiable mark on me that would be used against me. Having dark skin is a challenge in police states or the United States. But your artwork sings to me. I am older now, and those youthful concerns don't occupy my thought process. I am concerned about the permanence of tattoos. Energies move around, and perceptions change us, and the world around us. My only reluctance to a tattoo centers on this understanding of energy, and how it moves.
You live across the lake in London. Too bad, I have a feeling you are the one to be part of the ceremony I would design around drawing tattoos across my back.
I wouldn't dare to get a tattoo for myself either. However, some of my friends asked me to create some designs. This is such an honour, because an artist never gets a greater compliment, then one's saying: "I never ever get bored looking at your work." They will forever now look at what I drew, and I hope they will always find pleasure doing that. :)
