Re:
The only worrying thing E.E is if one gets tired of keep looking at it. A boy jabbed me with a pen once at school and I have the mark still. I expect the tattooist is pleased to do a large work of art as you probably know Japanese women of a certain sect had their backs covered in designs and these were taken as skins when they died. I cannot remember any more about it offhand. I must look it up one day.

Re:
Well Lion I had to push it around a bit as you know if it was that simple we could be song writers.

You know ChCh - I always wondered what a Tatooist may in fact think as he or she attunes their art on skin - flesh. This is a real good write - it brings many elements as booty to the lines. I mean, you touched all realms just about within this piece of art. Even, describing temptress and serpent --- and wow!!! feelings can be felt from this...
True story - my son had a very large tatoo applied last year. Now, it's a large dragon over water and this koi and some other things were drawn - oh my - the pain he endured was unthinkable to me - as well as the necessity of keeping it all clean and disinfected. Now, he has to go back and get some other colors and few more things applied, but again, it's been a year and after that experience I wonder if and when he will do it. I'm amazed at tatoos as I do know from 2 of my children that have had them applied, how painful in fact they can be. and the size and color apparently is the more pain. No, not for me...I will take childbirth anyday. LOL but not this type of pain with needles etc. (this writing and title reminded me of these memories) E.E.

Re: I'd give the tatoos a miss...
Only one when I was very young and foolish C.G. Having had a meagre education and dyslexia I just wanted to see if I could do it I suppose. That was it, not much good writing poetry unless well you know as well as I.
