I love tattoos.
Love them!
That said, I don’t have any. It’s not any kind of moral issue or anything. I’m just totally incapable of deciding what I would
want for more than ten minutes at a time. In fact, I would love to be a tattooist, except that I would have no street cred.
It’s a shame because I usually make tattooists fingers itch. I am of the glow-in-the-dark complexion, so pretty much all shading and colors would show up well on
me.
Others are far more brave. My lovely friend Katy Rabbit recently unveiled a gorgeous sepia tinted tattoo. It reminds me a bit of a Norwegian tattooist’s work. She specialized in sepia almost pointillist style images. Like having an exceptionally beautiful birthmark.
Sooo elegant…
So flushed with jealously, I sought to recreate and made a necklace inspired by it. Behold the Sepia Flower Necklace. I really wanted to recreate the look of Katy’s tattoo in a piece that is a little less permadent.
It’s up on etsy, if you’d like a closer look: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10370660

Wow! What was a beautiful tattoo on one woman ended up being a beautiful necklace on another woman.
It is awesome that you managed to do this purely based on some photos of a tattoo!
You are truly amazing!
