    Ow, no ones coming near me with a needle, unless it's to cure something worse!

    I like itimage It's nice to have a tat that's a bit different esp if it's been designed particularly for you.

    My only garden related tattoo is a chain of grey flowers going over my shoulder and round the back of my neck. A tad melancholic perhaps.

    As a middle-aged person though, I'll spare the forum a visual aidimage

    Oh shhh VS I'm no supermodel! I have a rose on my other leg too. Your flowers sound lovely I'm too shy to have anyone go near my top half! Legs and arms are fine though!
  • I always worry what they will look like when everything heads south.......the watering can (very pretty btw) may look like it's been in the crusher.

    Very pretty Sweetpea, not a huge tattoo fan myself and I'm far too squeamish, but I do like that image

    Ah, but you can't plan your whole life around being old... Don't worry us tattooed folk will live to regret it once surrounded by all the beautiful, untattooed pensionersimageimage

    I don't intend on having anything lazered off thank you very much! image if you think about placement then you needn't worry about sagging. Not that I care! When I'm old and I roll up my sleeves and show my artwork at least I'll always have something to talk about with my tattooed companions!

    My grand mother, born around 1880, had a tattoo and pierced ears, my son and his mate went to Docs in  Union street  Plymouth to get a tattoo each, mate came back with something about an inch high, son came back with one earing! Cowards.

     I once went out with someone who had a large Cornish flag tatooed on his back. Cant say I like them though.

    That's certainly a work of art SweetPea,unfortunately I have no tattoos whatsoever. I've battled depression too along with anxiety and find gardening is therapy for when I'm not doing well image
