Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
That must have taken hours!
ReplyDeletePossibly 'days'. It must have cost a fortune too.
DeleteImpressive, but WHY???
ReplyDeletePurely fashion. People think they are obliged to have them!
DeleteWhy some people become obsessed with tats is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteMe too. Most are dreadful and are bound to be regretted.
DeleteI have to admit, it's beautiful. I'm not into tattoos but that one is striking.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great piece of work, but I'd rather have it on paper.
DeleteGet one done on a sheep skin and hang it or wear it.
ReplyDeleteThe tattoos I object to are the little ones on ankles or buttocks. They show a lack of commitment. I don't have any but I was never drunk enough.
I would never have one, drunk or not.
DeleteI was talking to a young girl at the station last week whilst waiting for my train. She had a large colourful tattoo on her leg. I complimented her on it out of politeness. I asked if she was having any more done and she said yes, she was saving for a Harry Potter tattoo (she had to explain this to me as she initially described something I didn't understand). The stencil for it is costing her £400 before the tattoo artist starts with the ink. She is saving up for it at present. She looked about 18 and lived at home with her parents and she worked as an opticians receptionist. I wanted to tell her to think again but it was none of my business so I kept quiet.
ReplyDeleteI believe the actual work costs about £200 an hour, which explains why there are so many 'parlours' about.
DeleteI am not a fan of tattoos.
ReplyDeleteNor am I Weave; other than to admire (if they're well done) from a safe distance.
DeleteIt's beautiful! But I'd have it printed on a coffee mug, not inked onto my back.
ReplyDeleteIt's OK on someone else's back!
DeleteCouldn't help but think it was 'Can you tell what it is yet? ' by Rolf Harris. Not for me or mine I hope).
