Leopold here wanted an ornate key attached to a key-ring attached to his arm in a somewhat ‘violent’ manner………
man……..is this a violent key-ring,or is this a violent ke-ring!?!?!?!?!
after i got over all the violence,blood,pain,anguish,hardship and emotional roller-coasterednessess………i bottled it all up,far away,in my frontal lobe,where it is to be stored safely,till the day comes for that very much needed lobotomy.
then i proceeded to tattoo the image in a somewhat orderly manner.
As i fought against the violent torrent of blood pissing in my face,i knew,sometime,somewhere……..somehow…..i’ll finish this tattoo……
boy oh boy…….did i finish it…..
did i finish it?
yes….i did.
i finshed it good……real good.
Leo,you sat like a champ.
well done.
Thank you.
Hierdie rooi roos is op Jeanette.
n roos is n blom.
i gooied dit op haar arm met a tjuprewolwer.
dankie.
CJ allowed me to got to that little town i go to quite often………’Drawsomethingandslapiton’.
A juxtaposition of camelias,a heart and an ornately hooded peregrine falcon.
ca-caaaaaaaawwwww……..fweeeeep-fweep………….woooooooooo……..flappity-flap………..prrrrrrrrrrrrrrt.
thats the sound a falcon makes.
it represents the elusive,but yet fragile hints of frailty amongst distant emotionless memories of yester-years show-tunes.
thanks Christy.
You sat the whole line-work in a single session……crazy.
well done.

Thank you Mara!
Ciao Mara!
This is the other lady in my life.
This pic was taken in January,around the time of the S.I.X Cape Town Tattoo convention.
