Pictures

New pictures up, courtesy of nou kindly agreeing to lie still and not do anything for awhile. I've started using Flickr for ease of use now, and may start migrating the older pictures across from the Deviantart page eventually.

It's impressive to see the amount of difference taking the pictures under a daylight bulb makes - compare 'Skin and ink 2' (normal domestic bulb) with 4 and 5 (energy-saver blue-spectrum daylight bulb). I'm tempted to say I prefer the domestic one for taking pictures, despite daylight bulbs being much easier on the eye and the SAD.

The whiteboard marker definitely seems to be the way to go, if not using actual paint - it fades gracefully, and the pattern was still definitely visible a few days later despite normal bathing, but can be removed with a bit of scrubbing if need be.

[Edit: though these two photos should be SFW, the page linked to has thumbnails for a couple that may well not be.]

I'd be delighted to!

I'm looking to get a tattoo sometime in December... ;) Ideally I want the "Eye of Horus." Anyway that you could help spice if up a bit would be lovely. :)

Not a problem. Where are you planning on getting it put? And did you give up on the piercings instead? :)

For now the piercings are shelved -- I've still not entirely decided where I'm going to have it. But a 2x2 inch area would be about what I'm working with.

Plain black lines, or coloured, or on a background?

I prefer all black lines. :)
