Thank you so much x

oh you must!!! this is gooooregous. Is it yours or just random?
Thank you- A Celtic & Native American one are on the cards, Jamie wants a choice (although he really likes this one) and I’m trying to build up a tattoo portfolio lol :) Yeah its all mine, had a look at some egyptian stuff but made sure I twisted it about into something original.

Oh did you mean a tat for me lol- Nooooooo this is way too big, its for Jamies shoulder blade if he goes with it. I think if I do a few more I might be confident enough to design my own much smaller one :))
– Anita Inverarity
Yes, that’s what I meant :-) Dear AnitaInverarity, I wish to purchase a print of this work lol, tell Jamie to pick something else, I want this one! It’s perfect … looks like a wing in total, you know I love eyes, and wings, and those 3 tassles (reed flowers I think they are?)
yes, I am being serious. And don’t even consider a small tattoo, that’s a waste. I went into my friend Mary’s shop with a small lizard, something discreet you know, and luckily (!) she convinced me of the opposite. Turned out 20cm from nose to tail and I love it. That was my first tattoo – green, of course. They’re all green, lol, poor Mary, she really dislikes green and drops me a line every time she gets her hand on brighter green pigment :-) xxx Talk to Jamie and let me know xxx
Haha- I was just going for a nap and this made me giggle. I’m picturing your poor tatto lady with her endless pot of green. Are you like serious serious- Go for it !! Since its you I’ll just send you the Jpeg (let me know lol). Jamie wont mind one bit, he likes it but is already wanting choices 2 & 3. Its not like you’ll bump into him…. although he is travelling round Europe this summer :)

Oh he’s here and said “Aye OK- I’ll just avoid Germany” A man of many words lol
– Anita Inverarity
lol! well Jamie’s welcome here any time, providing we can compare tattoos then! In this case (haha I was so excited I just mailed Mary to find out how much credit I have left over – I did her website for her, and translated the whole bang shoot to English too, plenty hours!) I would like to purchase the original, please. Exciting!
I will let him know lol- wish it was me !
What are you like, I’m truly bowled over lol- You caught me by surprise (see bmail and I’ll chat to you later- sweet dreams xxx)
