Tattoo, second stage.

So, now that I’ve tested out my remarkable wimpiness against the process of getting a tiny tattoo, I’m ready to launch out on something a bit more serious.  I gave the bloke at the studio my picture of the Bewcastle Cross

and asked him to turn it into a design that could actually be tattooed on.  While I was asking for the impossible, I also mentioned that I would like it to go around the cross on my shoulder.  He measured how much space there was on my arm and came up with this:

which I think is brilliant.  I’m pretty certain that no one else in the world will have one like this   So now it’s just a matter of saving up for it.  No one told me that the major sacrifice involved in getting a tattoo would be financial.  But I think I can justify the outlay to myself if have it for my birthday.  (Which happens to be less than a month away.)
