My tattoos
I got my first tattoo when I was 17. It was a small Chinese character for 'woman/female' on the front of my right shoulder. The second followed shortly after; a small Scorpion on the front of my left shoulder. Several other small tattoos followed over the years by several artists. And then, in April 2002 I started work on my large almost-body-piece since then. The main content of the piece is flowers and ivy trailing from my right shoulder, across my back and twining around my left leg right down to my big toe. It is a work in progress and some of the flowers and ivy are still not coloured in - which is fine with me because it reflects my life.
