I have 8, some are pretty big pieces, and it’s been a while. I’m not sure if I would get more.

If you were to get tattooed what would it be and where?

As it stands, I have 1.5 tattoos. The finished one is on my upper back and is only text. The unfinished one also isn't seen in public, and it is the symbolic portion of the trail sign from which I derive my name. My ex never finished that one (still needs white and royal blue), but perhaps it'll happen at some point.

As it stands, I have one representing her and half representing me. I think that's enough ink for me.

I've got an ankle tattoo matching my husband's shoulder one, got them on our honeymoon, they're about a shared established fandom with no visible romantic connotations.

I've been planning to get a full sleeve celebrating my favourite operas for my 50th, so a couple more years still to deliberate. If any of you know a tattoo artist doing blackwork and who would be interested in the challenge of weaving together Bluebeard, Einstein, Trovatore, and Rossini chaos (with nods to other things if it doesn't get too messy), preferably in Europe, let me know. 😁

And if someone recognized me based on that rather specific plan, hi!

When I was a freshmen in high school I thought tattooed sleeves were just that, a tattoo of a shirt sleeve. Good luck finding a good artist. I hope there are decent online portfolios and you can find line work you like. bee party emoji

This is my next tattoo. I've got one on my left forearm of C. americanus in the same botanical illustration style, this one will be going on my right arm (my daughter is Juniper)

Cool!! That looks so neat, it’ll make a great tat!
