Quick and Painful

A friend of mine is organising a series of shows featuring Tattoo art meeting fine art.

Check out the site. Quick and Painful….

This reminded me that a couple of people had my artwork as tattoos…

I dont have any tattoos myself. I think about it now and then but never can settle on anything long enough to commit.
If you have a tattoo of my artwork please do send me a photo, I would love to see it.
