How is the world treating you? Hope everyone is awesome. Now I have a massive favour to ask!
I have a tattoo idea in my head and I just can't get into onto paper for love nore money, due to the fact my drawing skills are probably pretty similar to a goats!
I am attempting to draw a russian doll with a french bulldog face with the ears poking out. Anyone reckon they can do it?
If you haven't checked it out, check it out here!

Not been up to much the past week apart from working, reading a reviewing but that has kept me busy.
Looking foward to watching the new bbc Sherlock tonight. Fingers crossed it's better than last weeks as I was not much of a fan but I really enjoyed the first series, so hopefully this version of Hound of the Baskervilles will be awesome.
Anyways, just a quick one to say MEGA THANK YOU for all your comments, will blog more news as soon as any comes along!

I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas too. I was hugely spoilt and got to spoil, which is always a good combination. Both my sister and best girly friends bought me tattoo vouchers for Magnum Opus in Brighton, so fingers crossed I can book myself in there sometime soon. What was the best gift or experience you had over the festive season?

And if you haven't noticed already, I am MEGA excited about my new set that has just dropped into member review. It's called Sense of a Beginning, so just click here to check it out! A HUGE thank you to the amazing Alissa for shooting me while she was over in the UK back in September and to Luscious for helping.


Everyone feeling Christmassy yet? I am half way there thanks to the occasional bit of Christmas music at work, just need a tree up at home. Hopefully that'll be this weekend, exciting! Our first Christmas in our own home.
Thank you to everyone who wished me happy birthday at the beginning of the month, especially Danobain who treated me to the most gorgeous Edgar Allan Poe collection from my wishlist. Do I feel older and wiser, of course not!
Check out 2 Dudes Review, Battlefield 3 video, so awesome!
I have had about the worst cold ever over the last couple of weeks so I haven't been up to much, my voice has only returned to normal in the last few days as it was too painful to talk ut I did manage a quick trip in London to watch some roller derby for the first time.

I watched the London Rockin Rollers vs Southern Discomfort, boys vs girls. I really enjoyed it, I would love to give it a go eventually.
In other news, look out on the 1st of January 2012, cause I will be back in member review with a set shot by the epic Alissa!

What a start to the new year!
Today I got my copy of London Tattoos and print of myself from in the book. No idea what they hell I am going to do with the print but the book is super nice and it has some awesome other peeps in it to.


I also got to meet the sci-fi and fantasy author Brandon Sanderson this week, which was cool.
Starting to feel a bit Christmassy too now, with shops playing Christmas music, panic shopping and twinkly lights. I love buying pressies for people, so it's always a time of year I enjoy.
Still really enjoying work and got a little payrise, so that will REALLY help. It's still leaving me exhausted and it's still this knife in the back of my social life, but hopefully it'll all sort itself out in the end. Just need a bit more energy.

Not far into it but enjoying it so far.

Oh and Happy Thanksgiving!
I was looking back over all my old sets and looking at how much I have changed, both inside and out over the last 3 and a half years. As for the out, my craving for more tattoos continues. Hopefully my thighs will be next! I look older (suprise!) and I certainly feel wiser.
I guess I am thinking about age a lot. On the 1st of December I am 29 years old (pretty old for an SG) and I can't wait, roll on 30! I am in a job I love with awesome people, living in a flat I love with the man I love. Apart from me M.E. kicking my ass constantly and my Dad being ill, life is ok. I can't help but wonder what life will bring in the next 3 and a half years...I guess exhasution + Julian Barnes will do that to a girl!
I have also decided that I am going to try and write a book next year. I know lots of people are doing it this month but I want to read some more and not have to rush it. We'll see where it goes!

I love this time of year. Skulls everywhere, people dressed up, pumpkins, black cats and bats. If only it could last a little longer! To celebrate, it looks like I will be getting some new halloween style ink on Wednesday. So happy!

Sorry I haven't blogged in so long, I have become a lurker, I am ever so sorry. Exhaustion has been my middle name for the last few months now. Longer working hours has so far lead to labrynthitis and shingles, neither of which have been any fun at all! Anyways, I am starting to feel a bit better so hopefully I will be on top for soon.
Just before shingles knocked me out I was super lucky enough to make it to the London Tattoo Convention on the Friday and see Bow, Eden, Raie, Luscious, GoGo, Elliot, Radeo and Alissa.
I was super lucky enough to shoot a set with Alissa in the morning with the super useful direction of Luscious. It was such a fun day. If you ever get a chance to hang with these ladies, grab it with both hands, they're all sorts of awesome! Here's a tiny preview pic Alissa took

I can't wait to see the rest of it. I was also supposed to be shooting with the lovely Waikiki but due to getting ill, I had to be sucky and cancel
. Fingers crossed for another time!
I am afraid most of my other spare time is taken up with reading and reviewing at the moment but I love it so I can't complain!
I promise I will answer all you questions from my last blog in my next one. If you want to ask me anything else, feel free!
I will leave you with my favourite song of the moment, thanks to the movie Horrible Bosses. I would try and listen without watching the video if I were you, as it doesn't so it any favours.
(sorry I put up loads of the wrong photos earlier, all fixed now!)
Memories are the strangest things.
Anyway, I appologise for my strange words. I have been too tired to make much sense lately. After working two six day weeks in a row, exhaustion has gripped me by the throat and beaten me face first into the dirt. I feel a bit of a husk and it is not pleasant.
As my brain is functioning even worse than normal, I thought I could leave my next blog in the hands of you lovely people.
Ask me a question, ask me anything and I will try and answer the best I can in my next blog. Silly, serious, funny or grim. Go for it!
