It was a nice minaret/ mosque tattoo, but poorly executed. It was a won flash tattoo in an auction for Palestine.

In febr and it faded in same week..

It was also done by a guy and me ( SA history) had no idea that I would really be so upset afterwards...

I contacted the artist who tattooed me 13y ago, 2 tattoos and she was a guest artist in my country just now and i got 2 more of her hand!!

This one is my mountaintatto, she designed it with my pointers ( Dolomites, mountainflowers) and because we couls not decide if a branch, a twig or leaves or a flower would be best and the lines still visible are soooo light, we will see when she is back end of summer what we will do!

I included a photoshop version with 2 extra flowrbuds, as an example of what I think will be cool

Hi!

Second spring of blooming, last year 1 flowerstick, now 2, but one is now brown, other green with these???

What are they and what to do?

Sandra is my artist, she is till May 2nd at Kokoloko tattoo in Dordrecht,so I went to see her, it had been 13y!

I already had 2 tattoos ( the aged ones, both 13y old!)

And 3 weeks ago the arrows , yesterday my mountains !

She is once/ twice per year a guest in Dordrecht, also elsewhere, I love her work!!

Hi! Sandra has tattooed me in 2013, the tattoo on my left shoulder with the 3 feathers. In 2014 she tattooed ' Saudade' with feather on front, that one had healingissues due to the red, also a spot with lots moving clothesparts, of wearing bra lines etc.

She at that time worked at Queen of Rings, Rotterdam.

She has her studio in Portugal where she lives, but 2 weeks ago I got my arrows at Kokoloko tattoo in Dordrecht by Sandra as a guest and yesterday my mountains!! Its partially a coverup, in fall we will meet up again and see how it will be finished.

I love all 4 !!!🤍

My artist is in Holland for a few weeks, this is yesterday's tattoo, it also covers up a very failed fineline of a minaret/.., far right side, we deliberatly left this piece of line unhid, it is still vanishing ( done in febr) so after summer we will look at it again and finish it ( off 🤭)

I am a climber since 2013, outdoor and indoor, rope and bouldering and VF, she had " Dolomites" and " mountainflowers" as my wish, I really love it 🤍🏔🗻⛰️.

At the moment,due to RA, fibro and Anxiety, I am not climbing and gained a lot of weight due to Ssri, so this tattoo means to me my love for mountains and my wish to get back at it...thats why I am so excited to show it!

I am so happy she worked on my 2 new ones this weeks in Holland and thankfull for her being an Awesome artist, empathic, very skilled, I feel 100% seen and safe and I am soooo happy with ( now 4 ) only her tats, clearly I am a 'One - artist- only -person' !!🤭
