peaceridge Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Hello all, I found you while looking for information about Saniderm - and will contribute to that thread. To introduce myself : I got my first tattoo in 1976 in Fort Bragg, NC. I wanted a small dragon head and got it off a picture on the wall. It was very different back then for women. Even though my then husband was with me, the tattooist called his wife to come and sit in - really funny. The artist tried so hard to get me to choose a rose or butterfly instead, he couldn't really understand that I wanted a dragon! One thing I must say about him (whoever he was) - I wanted my dragon to be blue and when my husband asked for the same thing, the artist refused - he would do a dragon, but not in the colors I chose. It is a terrible tattoo and I wouldn't give it up for anything - it is a reminder of a time in my life when I thought nothing of merit would ever happen to me, I got the tattoo to show my future grandkids (I had a 2 year old daughter at the time) that I could be different from all the other grandmoms - hah, little did I know how different I would eventually be. I travel full time in a tiny RV - looks like a squished truck camper - with my 2 Cardigan Welsh Corgi dogs. As soon as I retired, I got another tattoo - a small phoenix on my left inner arm. Just this year I got an overthought one down my right inner arm and around my wrist. My artist did exactly what I asked her to and used the design I had created, so I cannot fault her. As soon as I saw it completed I knew something was wrong with it - much too cartoonish for my liking. In one of the NM campgrounds I met a woman with lots of feather tattoos and really liked the shading on them. So, I just got my overthought one redone in a "painterly" fashion - not watercolor as I wanted bright colors. I'll try to get pictures up of it when I have better internet service. Anyway, I am most impressed with this site and am slowly viewing as many threads as possible.

peaceridge Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Welcome and great profile.Have you done a full US east to west coast? Yes, I've been traveling for 10 years and have crossed the entire country (from east to west coast) 4 times. Been on the road 7-8 months per year. I finally sold my house in May of this year so can now call myself a full-timer! I would like to investigate Canada more next summer.
