Tattoo Love - Words

I mentioned I have poetry on my back. I love well done text tattoos. And I definitely don't mean gothic text (though sometimes that too has its place). I have a particular fondness for poetry and special quotes, because I feel if words have stuck with you long enough, they deserve to be tattooed on your body as well as your brain. And yes, one of these is mine.

Tattoo Love - Trees

Three quite different, and all magnificent, tree pieces for you to enjoy today. The first is possibly my all-time favourite tattoo. If my back weren't already covered in butterflies and poetry, I'd definitely do this:

Tattoo Love - Fun

Today, two fun tattoos with great characters:

A very finely done Milly-Molly-Mandy. Lovely work.

This fun Wally is also great work, and in a difficult spot.

Tattoo Love - Florals

We get a lot of visitors to our blog through the one or two posts we have about tattoos. Since I haven't shared with you anything from my Pinterest boards for some time, I thought this was a great opportunity to show you some of the wonderful tats I have on my Ink board. Today, two arm pieces with glorious florals and really beautifully worked colour:

Tattoo Dolls

Currently our youngest is "tattooing'' everything including himself and his toys. I thought I would show him the work of some professional toy tattoo artists. This first set of beautiful tattooed dolls comes from Enchanted Doll . Aren't they wonderful?

And these lovely ladies and their handsome fella come from Mimi Kirchner 

This last pic is of a real tattoo and goes out to my beautiful friend Rike. The image was found at http://www.xoxobook.com
