More tatt-ery

No, I'm not rushing out to get my Spikey dog tattooed onto me, I just thought that this was pretty cool.

More tattoo love

My Tea Party (finished!) by Sunny Buick, originally uploaded by mrswaves.

Tea and a cupcake!
What's not to love?

[No this isn't mine, I'm still wishfully thinking about a new tatt.]

Love

Just stumbled upon this tattoo, thanks to this girl.
Love it.

Tea (of course)

So further to this post, I still haven't got my cupcake tattoo, although I have decided on a design...just need to find the right place on the body to put it, and find the money to pay for it. (None of that spare at the moment.)
The other thing I want, as mentioned here, is a teapot tattoo.
A quick google for teapot tattoo gave me these examples:

A black and white one

This lovely teapot.

And this one.

None of these are actually what I'm after, but I just liked them. So my search continues...

Still lusting

after a Sunny Buick tattoo. Just too hard for me to decide what I want.
Here's a few of my faves from her site:





There's some incredibly cool ones of women and faces, but they're not really me. The last one here is really my fave, but I'm not really a knitting devotee. And I don't think I'd get a tattoo with hearts in it... something with a teapot though...hmm...

OMFG

...is not a phrase I often utter, but it was the one that came to mind when I saw this incredible tattoo on Flickr this morning! EEP!

No this is not my tatt, but I so wish it was! Apart from the gorgeous design, the ink is excellent.

And in a similar vein, look at this tattoo design:

This one's by Sunny Buick. So much love. (A pic of the finished ink is here.)

New

By the way, the ink is quite tidy, it's just my photography that makes everything look crappy.

I am an impulsive creature, I won't deny that. Yesterday I discovered a tattoo shop next to my local chemist, and that planted the seed... by the time I'd finished work I'd decided to get a new wrist tattoo. Again, the design is from an embroidery pattern sheet:



I chose the crown: a) because I liked it; b) because apparently Stephanie means "crown"; and c) because I liked it. I also plan to put some text under it, specifically the Latin : "Dilige, et quod vis fac." ...which is generally translated to "Love, and do what you will." But I have to be 100% sure the Latin is right before I commit to the ink. And I might add some colour to the crown too.

On the inspiration side, this is another front runner for a fave tatt design...but I'm loathe to copy someone else's special tatt. But I love the Vonnegut quote and the font.

I can't remember the exact source of this pic, but I know I found it via this site.

I think though, as much as I love that quote, my text tattoo (when I get around to doing it) will be some e.e. cummings. Same font though.

And for the curious, I still haven't decided on a cupcake tatt design yet, so no progress there.
