    It's so dear as it's something I've designed myself rather than one of their own ones.

    I do actually want Kat Von D to do a portrait of my parents when they were younger, but she charges £800........per person in portrait :eek: :eek:

    She'll probably be over in October at the tat convention in the Brewery in London, maybe I would'ved saved £1,600 by then :confused::D

    bhb thanks for posting the pic. I want to see everyone now! BUT, I can't post a pic of me they're all on 35mm film :D complete technophobe

    (although, I managed to, erm, make a rather rash purchase on ebay last night. something I've wanted for ages but think I should've waited until I've saved the money through not buying wine first)

    I've never been to a tattoo convention. I have a few tattoos. Maybe we should have a MSE AF meet-up in London in October.;) We would probably be a really bad influence on each other and we would all end up in a pub.:p

    Nice photo BHB btw.
