Say Yes To Free Tattoos

My latest set of tattoos are ready, and waiting to get to their new homes! A reminder of the tattoo project: they're free on condition you send hi-res photos of you (or someone you know) wearing them. Points are awarded for creativity and imaginative placement. It's a trio of three designs this time.

They're are inspired by the words of US poet Andrea Gibson, whose humbling and brilliant words you can read here. You can only get this latest set direct from me, or by going to one of poet Andrea's performances in the USA this summer.

You can see the global efforts of those already furnished with free fake ink at the MySpace Gallery.

Email if you'd like to be sent some. And remember - I WILL chase you for photos...
