The needle and the damage done
I think a person, including their body, should be a work in progress. I consider my body as a canvas, and I paint and pierce it. And like some of my art, at times, I re-paint and re-pierce and change things until I am more satisfied with the results. This is an example of such. A surgical removal of a tattoo, and a cover-up of another. My only regret is that I did not keep the skin they cut off. I would have preserved and framed it. But the doctor wanted it. I wonder why.

ouch. i'm such a wimp - minimal piercing and no tatoos. my old friend Cindy is a tatoo artist and her work is amazing. i'll have to forward her info to you.
Her name is Cyndy Rudzis - and she's on Tammy's friend list on MySpace. Check her out. She's a RISD-ee grad and super talented.
Eileen...I know of Cyndy, and her work. I have this thing about only letting men ink and pierce me. Except for the piercings I do myself. JH is used to coming home to find me in front of a mirror with an ice cube and an upholstery needle. Big shocker there, eh?
That's cool that you know her. Wow ... you are mondo brave to be piercing yourself. I would be flat on the floor. Keep warm!
Sometimes, being flat on the floor is the only way I can reach what I am piercing.
