A pig's head with a rose in its mouth
I got a purple rose as a free little gift when I bought something, so I stuck it in a pig's mouth. Speaking of roses, my tattoo guy wants to trade pieces of my work for pieces of his! He has been to my website and I think he is hooked on miniatures! The last time I saw him, a few days ago, I gifted him with something I made a few years ago. It was one of my root people scenes. I'm not sure yet what I'll make him for next time.

How cool to have that interesting trade! I wanna see your new art (both on your body and what you make!)
ReplyDeleteYou could make him a tattooed heart...
ReplyDeleteOk, this is weird. Glenda, how did you know that I am getting an anatomical heart next?? That is freaky!!
ReplyDeleteBetty, I will snap piccies,I promise, but this back piece, which started as a cover-up, has taken on a life of its own!! I don't think it will end until my entire back is covered :-/.
I'm good at putting two and two together and getting five!
ReplyDeletetee hee, from what I have seen of Pigs, the sweet smelling flower should be in the other end!!
ReplyDeleteHe is great.

Poor piggie. I hope his life on earth was grand! LOL! Love the purple rose.
ReplyDeleteAnd so funny about your tattoo friend and his newfound love of mini's!

I can't help but thinking of the book Angela's Ashes when I look at the pigs head. What a book!!!!!!!!!! How any of those children survived is beyond me. If you haven't read it get the CD's of Frank McCourt reading it. He did a wonderful job, his Irish accent is lovely too.
ReplyDeleteKiva...I have heard tattoo's are addictive. It must be true.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mines 15 year old daughter wanted to show me her secret yesterday. Her mother is not to know about it! She announced as she dropped her drawers so I could see her new tattoo (over her butt). All I could say was... WOW!!! That's going to look great sticking out of a pair of Depends someday.
I don't have anything against tattoo's but I do think you should be an adult before you get one.
How cool :)
ReplyDeleteMags, lol!!! Right up the arse!! Hey, next time I make a whole pig, I just might take your advice ;-)!
ReplyDeleteCatherine, I have never read the book, but I know of the movie...and I've never seen it! I just added it to my Netflix cue- thank you for the recommendation. There is a pig's head in it??
ReplyDeleteHey, a 15 year old should not be getting a tattoo, no way!! Number one, way too young, and chances are, she'll regret it when she's older (I hope not, but odds are, she probably will). Number two, on her arse? I wouldn't get one on mine. Like, right on the cheek, or above it? All of mine are in places that typically don't sag much with age...although that might change ;-). Third, she must have gone to a "scratcher", aka, someone who probably bought their equipment off ebay or something and is tattooing in their kitchen! No self-respecting tattoo artist would tattoo a 15 year old. Yikes.
You know, when I was young and impulsive...oh wait, I'm still impulsive...but anyway, I got something on my left back shoulder and it just got uglier and uglier with age, hence, the cover-up (that I have been getting worked on for several sessions now). I now lurv it and it's something I can live with forever, thanks to the skill of the artist. I just hope that she won't go ape shit and get more before she's ready. But, live and learn. I'm hard headed, and if I decide to do something, I will do it, come hell or high water ;-). If I f*ck up, I'll deal with the consequences.
Thanks, Stefanie!! I'm glad you like it!!
