for love

You're all I want when the water runs deep,
You're all I need now I cry my soul to sleep.

Many moons ago, when young Miss S was very young, I used to rock her to sleep to this song. I had a tattoo done about 12 years ago with that particular verse on it and was never overly happy with it - a good idea poorly executed. Last week I finally had it covered up - it took 5 hours. I kept the same verse but had the whole tattoo covered with this new one...and now we're working on the rest of the "sleeve".

Oh, and I'm back. Obviously.

Also, in other words "double oh"..click here:

Hello bro, good to see you back again. As for the tatts, not my cuppa tea. Sorry.

[Suzanne]

Aww, I'm beginning to think, not so deep down, you're actually a big softy. Nice song, cool tat

[Graeme Stevens]

@golftragic Just as well you don;t have to wear one then ;)
@suzanne234 I'll thank you to keep that to yourself ;)

[sally agnew]

[Suzie Townsend]

Makes me think of some of the scary shows we watch on TV.

[Larry L]

Very interesting. Well conceived and executed.

[Graeme Stevens]

@lsquared Thank you kindly good sir :)
@stownsend At least it brings something to mind ;)
@jgpittenger Not at all...
@annied I have lost weight...and I'm just desperately trying to catch up ;)
@hermann Most welcome :)

[Ali P]

Great shot - good to hear you have finally got around to covering up an old tat' for something you prefer - very grown up!!!

[Lee]

A full sleeve! Adventurous.

[Yao RL]

This sounds very painful.

[Karly]

Very cool - the image and the tat. Fav.

[dh (delena)]

Great shot of a beautiful tattoo

[Helen Jane]

You are very obviously back. No need to try and work out whose work this is. I dread to think what you have been doing with that gun, but I approve of the lyrics and can see that the cover up makes a more appealing design than you started with.

[Caroline]

Love that ink, awesome beginning to a sleeve! Nice that you retained the original memory, too... I’d say nice to have you back but I’ve been so absent myself :( but heck it’s always nice to have you back, so yes.

[Marnie]

@graemestevens Quite right.

[haskar]

Great contrast. Well done.

[Graeme Stevens]

@haskar Thanks very much :)
@kerosene Well shucks, thanks :)
@helenhall It's only a cheap plastic toy...even throwing it at a passing stranger wouldn't do much...
@dh Thanks very much :)
@365karly1 Thank you kindly :)
@yaorenliu It was...but worth it...
@gamelee I may regret it at some point...
@alinz I know...it took me by surprise as well ;)

[Krista Marson]

Ohhh, we need to see that tat in progress. Any 'before' shots?

[Graeme Stevens]

@blueberry1222 Alas no, I forgot to do a before!
