the blood afterwards

I've wanted to make a post of all my tattoos and then Panda reminded me! I really should get someone to take some nice photos of them because it's way hard to photograph them myself. Anyway, so I'm wearing this lace thing I bought yesterday and neon spanks underneath! I am OBSESSED with nude lace and hot pinks/neon pinks/baby pinks underneath. It's just so lush!
Next year at college I get to make a mini-collection which I think is going to base around flesh colours using lace and chiffon and spandex! I saw this painting when I was rushing through town the other day, it was of a girl who looked like she'd just been crying and her skin was all blotchy and red. It was so beautiful though, so I want to base my collection on how beautiful skin can be with imperfections. Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I do the tattoos with a little gold safety pin because the spike is thin and sharp enough to poke little holes in your skin. You sterilize it, dip it in the indian ink and poke, dip and poke. Repeat about 92148509,,928,000 times untill all the dots have filled into the shape you want! BEWARE: they are trés addictive!
