But Alanna I wasn't joking :( Haha okay I was, but I do hate the cat from down the road.

HAHA "leather trousers' date='" what're you English?

Also.. I mean.. is anyone else considering writing an email to [email'][email protected][/email]?

Um.... yeah. Haha! ;) I thought about sending an email, but they've probably already checked this and seen that we don't want their bullshit. Actually, would they bother? They don't know how to do research, from what we've seen.

I'd love to be a part of the show. Unfortunately, my next door neighbour's dad's friend's cat hasn't died yet, though. I keep trying to hit it with my car, but no luck. Until then, I sit at home most days, wishing I too could have a tattoo and wear leather trousers. I already have three shitty polaroids of the cat to use for the portrait, too, but the thing keeps living. It's getting to a point where I'm wondering if I'll even be able to cry for the cameras when the time comes. It's so depressing.

In all seriousness though, has anyone else noticed how shite things with the word "inked" tagged onto it can be?

I've had two people ask me that on separate occasions, my good man! I don't know why, but I like the idea of it. Maybe just because I think it's really silly.

In my opinion, I don't think it'd loose its "cred" at all as long as it's a good piece of work :) You do what you want, it's your artwork!

Why didn't I see this before? I love literary tattoos! I love your wolf head, it's cool when people get actual pictures instead of massive phrases- that's what tattoos are supposed to be, right?

I have one myself, actually, though now it'll sound silly since I said I prefer tattoos to be pictures: got the word "Nevermore" tattooed across the front of my shoulder (or the side of my chest? It's a tricky place to describe), from The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe. I love Poe's work, he was incredible.

To be honest, I'm surprised I've seen only a few Sylvia Plath tattoos, has anyone seen any?

That's all pretty interesting, mate.

I don't really know what to think of that, though- I don't fit into that, really, so I might not really be able to relate because I'm one of those odd people you spoke about who haven't had too much shit. I mean, I have really, but I don't really let things get to me in any way. Maybe tattoos are a subconscious thing for me, then!

Either way, I like the idea of tattoos being like armour. I also like the strange idea non- tattooed people have that tattoos keep your skin warm. If only!

I have a feeling this will keep me thinking for the rest of the day...

Clean and crisp- love them :)
