The Newer One

Yes, I know, we have freckles and back hair once again. It's perfectly natural, as I am a silverback. So, deal with it or scroll on down. I got this tattoo at a time of painful change in my life. Having it done helped my psyche in ways I couldn't describe. However, I was never quite satisfied with the artwork. I think I'll have it touched up, and made to look better.

The reason I chose this particular scene was that I saw a book combining Western astrology (the Virgo in the image with her glyph) and Eastern philosopy including the year of the dragon, in which I was born. However, via a terrible horror movie and other sources, I have discovered a biblical verse involving a (virgin?) woman and a red dragon in the end of days. I'm not sure of the significance.

William Blake wrote and painted about it. See here.

My husband is hairy... I can deal with it. Yeah, I'd have this one touched up... it looks older than the original and detracts from the image itself. Not trying to be critical, just honest.

I always appreciate honest feedback. The colors didn't hold up so well over the last ten years. A little touch-up should do the trick.

And I love being hairy. It's a sign of virility. I was thinking of taking out a personal ad with the following line: "Must like back hair, and/or be willing to wax it for me." What do you think?

I too can deal with it....it's all male and that is a turn-on. Yes, a touch-up will do wonders. The personal ad..funny!
