tattoo… or t day…
23 07 2008Today I am off to get a new tattoo and I started thinking about the reasons we get inked. For me there is a long tradition of tattooing in my culture (NZ Maori). Both my brothers and I have tattoos.
For me tattoos capture a time, head-space and place and I am really happy with each tattoo I have added. I am really looking forward to the new one which celebrates my love of teapots and birds!

as the needle bites -
your love will last a lifetime
inked into my skin…
