Jaccairn: When you get a tattoo they need to shave that part of the body, otherwise the hairs get in the way.

Nice tattoo, man. Looks really good. You should take another pic in a month or so, when it's healed over more.

It's based on a Kidby picture, isn't it?

Can I use your artwork as a Tattoo?
Yes, but it is always courteous to ask first and we would appreciate seeing a photo of the finished work!
