honoured

tattoos are a funny thing. they're a very personal thing. personally, i'm a wimp. i a) couldn't deal with the pain of it being done and b) knowing me i'd scab up really disgustingly for months afterwards. my zumba instructor kris has tons of them and they say they remind her of great times in her life. my friend katy is practically famous in the quilt world for hers. i'm not sure i could do it. but often think, if i had one, what would it be and where would it go? it's often in the same thought vein as these gems that i often think about while i'm in the shower: if i were to audition for x-factor, what would i sing and who would i want as my mentor? & if i had plastic surgery, what would i have done first? you know, those completely delusional, keep-them-to-yourself-thoughts. anyway, i digress. i got a message from a customer, renee. and she's had a tattoo done on her inner arm. based on my bloomsbury flowers. and it's awesome, just look. to love something i've designed that much and to then permanently adhere (?) it to yourself, well, that's just plain amazing. in her own words:

"On a recent trip to Berlin, for the Hello Etsy conference, I decided to get a tattoo to celebrate the amazing adventure!!! I knew exactly what I wanted and came up with a little illustration based on your work. I get so many compliments and people just love it."
