He carefully sketched the outline before transferring it onto the waiting canvas.
The picture would be black and white, so he would have to pay attention to detail.
Some didn't consider it art, but his work was very intricate.
Everything was prepared.
She jumped......
as the needle in the tattoo machine first pricked her skin.
Friday 55 Flash Fiction is brought to you by G-man (Mr Knowitall). The idea is you write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you've posted your 55.
You have such a great gift of telling a story in just 55 words.
ReplyDeleteI saw a guy with a whole mural on his back - it's most certainly art in my opinion. ;-)
ReplyDeleteNice 55! :)
Ouch!...and I know that first prick of the skin, too!
ReplyDeleteI've got one...but never again!#
I'm such a baby!

As usual!!!

Such words as "talent will out" comes to mind, but then I've told you and told you how talented you are! You know, Mac has a pair of bluebirds tattoed on his chest...our Granddaughter always asks why he didn't have a nest tattoed for them? His answer is always, "because by then I had sobered up."
ReplyDeleteFunny man, lol!

A tattoo is a big commitment - you have to really want one or maybe get very drunk Buff! ;)
ReplyDeleteThankyou Kay :)
I had a feeling you would have Tatts G-man :)
Go for it Daryl if you really want one. :)
Oh thankyou Thom, how kind you are. x
I have an orchid tattoo Lou. I saw Joe's 55 - great minds think alike eh? :)
