Haha that's hilarious! A tattoo artist thought you a weirdo for wanting a tattoo. Haha. Ah maybe it affects the nerves?? My mate just has the gear and he's an artist :) yes they wear off. I kind of liked that idea. Like maybe by the time it's gone the raven will no longer bug me. I wrote a novel when i was very sick and immobilised. Raven started as a character from there but my relationship with him changed after the mother of all betrayals from my then muse. If that makes sense haha. so weird tho! How many other people out there want a raven on the sole of their foot? We should do it together :) girls unite, me in your mirror to get ourselves some wings :)
