Next Tattoo Due...

Well, my last tattoo before the summer really kicks in, is booked for a week today. Having a portrait of my beloved Max put on my lower left forearm with his name positioned underneath. Am well looking forward to it but wonder how I will manage to last from then until Xmas without getting another tattoo! Have promised myself to get my nephew George’s one done over the Xmas break so it will be something to look forward to and I would rather not get any whilst the sun is shining (that’s assuming we get any sun this summer!) as they’ll need to be kept covered to stop them burning. Will post a photo of the new tattoo when it’s done so you can have a look at it, as usual its being done at Medway Tattoo by Ben Shaw. The previous two done about 5 weeks ago are both healing very nicely, the hand one still needs the odd moment of TLC but then again at my age the skin on my hands is quite thin compared to my younger days. All in all I am more than happy with the whole effect on my arms so far and the one of Max will just round things off nicely – for now…
