    I think I'm going to jump on the "Fabric Bandwagon". I have seven tattoos. (Much to my mother's dismay!) Personally, I find it easier to pick out fabric than something that will be part of me forever...

    Although, I keep threatening that one day I'll do an entire sleeve (tats from shoulder to wrist) in a craft/sewing theme. :)

You would have been hard put to find an area on his body the size of the end of a pencil that didn't have ink on it.

    Can imagine what he looked like in latter years - especially if he lost weight. Put me off having one for life.
    Is this him?????? :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Nope Marsye, not enough tats! The chap I saw would be lucky to have a total of 1 square inch of un-inked skin on his entire body. UGH!

    Ages ago (60's era)I thought of a getting a butterfly tat on my back "cheek", but didn't. That is also 100 lbs ago, I can't begin to imagine the size that butterfly would have been today. LOL!! Prefer to spend my $$ on fabric.
