New Year 2011

Here's Julia & James celebrating the New Year at the Texas Moon. We all had a good night especially as the Xmas do was cancelled due to the snow. Hopefully it will be re-held before we get too far into the new year although there's always the continued threat of more bad weather...

Updated Back Tattoo

This is my completed back piece, finished at Diablo Tattoo on Friday 17th December 2010. This was taken about a week after it was done so is already looking less red and the black and grey is already lightening up nicely. The piece is somewhat of a cartharsis for me, the "betrayal" refers to my ex's infidelity and the subsequent demise of our marriage. Finally this piece has helped me to put the past to bed and move on from what has been a long and painful part of my life. When someone you trust implicitly betrays that trust it is one of the hardest things to come to terms with whatever the circumstances, you think you know them and suddenly they are a stranger. The fact that this piece is on my back also helps to signify that this part of my life is now behind me. I am so pleased with the final outcome and will wear it with pride.
