I guess I'll start this one, since, although I haven't posted mine yet, I do want to say something.
THIS ONE WAS HANDS DOWN A HUUUUUUGE STRETCH FOR ME!!! To go out and ask a complete stranger, in a setting I'm unfamiliar with (as it turns out, in *our* town, it was almost yuppyish LOL), to pose with a pony.... Oh man. Heart palpitations. Almost chickened out of the personal contact part. Heh.
But the girl (who does piercings; not sure if she also does tattoos) was so sweet about it, and seemed intrigued by the " photo hunt" idea and that there's a community of pony collectors out here (in case you joined and are readiong this, L, *waves and grins*) *And*, she had to pull her sweater sleeve way down to show off this absolutely *loverly* mermaid/lighthouse/ocean tatto that covered her upper arm. Talk about above and beyond! But that's why Grafitti's close up pic *with* the tattoo-ee is inside (you can see it looks like a clinic of some sort LOL) and why I took a pic of Grafitti outside the shop (to show the shop) without any tattooed people. I don't think we'd have wanted to do that out on main street in 50 degree weather. heh.
Will be putting the pics up shortly and will add one here in a bit--after I blur out her face--because it shows a bit more of the mermaid on the tattoo than the close up angle, and it's just so gorgeous.
