My cancer

I don't think that somebody who enjoys eating maggots can say much regarding being 'normal'. I am gloriously and unashamedly immersed in my own world and happy to be a fully paid up member of the 'Up Yours Art Society'. 

Enjoy your locust biryani.

How did you know what I was having for tea 

I’ve thought about having one for years. 

Never been brave enough to try nor did I want to commit to something that was gonna be there on my arm forever. 

But now, why not? My perspective on a lot of things have changed. Living for me and Jill now. 

Just need to decide what to have and when it’s okay to do so in the Chemo context. 

And what is wrong with 'strangeness' pray ? What do you define as 'strange'? Hmmm?

Some people might think it  'strange' to make a 300 mile round trip to see a couple of sparrows, but whatever floats your boat....  Rainie x

There are a few sits online you can browse to get ideas, I must admit since diagnosis my outlook has changed, never no what the future holds, maybe a tat one day 

I saw a beautiful one which was of a pair of dolphins stitching through wave shapes around an upper arm. It went all the way round and was done in shades of turquoise, blue grey and black. You need to find a really good artist who can do it well. I hope you find something inspirational.  My daughter has a couple of small ones. I found having my ears pierced years ago was quite enough Thankyou.   Rainie x

My attitude was always if I could afford something, if I wanted it, if it wasn’t to hurt anyone, then I was going to do whatever I wanted. That was holidays or trips or whatever. 

Now, after all this, I’m really just going to do what we want on our timetable. 

Defiantly a tattoo for me. I’ll let you know when I find one. I might just do for the kids and grandkids names on my forearm. 

I've had one for 50 years on my arm. Wished I hadn't for years, obviously don't care now!

What I have been thinking of just lately is a design using initials from my wife's name and my brother and sisters names.

Does something like that appeal to you, wife and kids names? On your arm. Nice to look at that all the time I think.

I will defiantly research it a bit and first find a good artist and look at some sample work first. 

 I just need to decide on a subject first.

It can’t be that painful compared to some of the pain we go through now. 

Artist,

Was thinking of text on my forearm, starts off with:

Sei Il Miricolo, (that means You Are My Miricle), then below that my kids names and my grandkids names in order, all in a kind of italic font.

What do you think?
