    I have tattoos on my upper arms - both are very personal and symbolic for me so I don't expect to ever regret having them. The placement was chosen specifically so that I can see them and so that they are very easy to cover - my colleagues don't have a clue I have tattoos as I don't wear that short sleeves to work and I am comfortable with that.

    I am a 'virgin canvas' as well. Cute phrasing!
    If people get tattoos for their own unique reasons, it makes sense.

    What I am seeing now is whole body tattoos that puzzle me. Most tattoos today have become so common-place that they are quite boring and routine to see so I have no interest in having one done.

    A regular bearded iris, I suppose.I am more interested in how it is presented that in the flower itself. I’ve always liked viney, light, or Art Nouveau type illustration, so that’s what
    i would look for in a tattoo artist.

    I’m looking at that exact tile, the second one, and every one in the series, for our Hermann bathroom.

    Love images that are ageless like these.
